Cincinnati Bell Fioptics was just put in here in my neighborhood.
For about the last 2-3 months I've been having issues with TWC. It will just go to almost a complete dead stop, for an hour at a time.
I can't get anything done like that. It's a relatively new thing, just over the last 2-3 months, but it's happening a few times a week. When everything is working properly, I'm around 35/down 6/up.
Right now I'm bundling Cable/Internet for $130 a month, and that's while providing my own modem, which would cost me another $10 a month. And my cable is the "standard" package, which is just coaxial into the tv's. No digital, no HD (other than local channels - NBC/CBS/FOX/ABC/PBS/64). So, my cable sucks - but it does come with the TWC app, which does give me most of the channels in HD (no FSO, no ESPN/ESPN2, no TBS - but those are the only ones that aren't on the app) and even offers me a few channels that I don't actually get (FS1, SEC Network).
Realistically though, between my roommate and I, we need about 10 of the channels we have with this package and I figure they are on just about every available cable/satellite package we could get (heck, I think Sling TV has them all but one). I'm really tired of my internet not working for an hour or two at a time, and Cincinnati Bell is offering some pretty sweet introductory deals right now. For the same price I'm paying TWC for internet and crappy cable, I can get Gigabit internet and 2 HD boxes with a much larger selection of channels from Cincinnati Bell. I could save money by simply going with a lesser version of their internet service (right now I'm on the TWC for 50/5 - which CB also offers for significantly less).
So, I'm reaching out to you guys. Does anyone have Cincinnati Bell Fioptics? I'm far more concerned with how the internet works than the channel selection or anything like that. I'm also more interested if you've got something like the 100Mbps or even Gigabit option instead of the lower tiered ones. How are your speeds? Had any problems? Issues? Anything you can offer would be great. I'm going to try and talk to some neighbors who recently got it installed, but I don't live around the most technically savvy group of people either, so I'm not sure how much information that will give me.
