I saw in one of the broadband trade publications that Breezeline is going to go all fiber in Laconia. This assumes, of course, that their franchise agreement is renewed. They are presently operating under a 1 year extension to the old franchise agreement because there have been 'issues', not just with Laconia but in a number of other Lakes Region towns served by Breezeline.
I know that when Xfinity came into Gilford I switched from Breezeline because of problems I was having that Breezeline seemed it didn't want to solve. It also didn't help that they closed their customer service office in Belmont (which violated the terms of their franchise agreement) and moved all of their tech support from Rochester, NH to Quincy, MA.
