Right now, there are two cable providers: Breezeline and Xfinity. Breezeline has old equipment problems, but once a customer complains, they manage to repair the service.

In Laconia, to do business they must seek city approval. Laconia is probably the last to get new providers. Fidium uses existing equipment so they may be able to provide Laconia.

Since Xfinity arrived, Breezeline has been able to provide cheaper service. The last hike buried them. Xfinity is now more economical. I made the switch to Xfinity.

So far Xfinity speed according to Speedbot, is way more consistent than Breezeline and a tad more speed. Both provide me with up to 500GB.

As for streaming, I see no difference. Streaming services will buffer at times, and I believe it's the service itself, not the IP.
