I first considered the typical qwest but after reading the reviews on-line I discovered Bresnan, then once I got the chance I called to order. The packages offered were 15meg down and 1 meg up for 10.00 more than the basic package which was 8meg down 356 up. I ordered the basic and will see how that goes. First day so far is fantastic.
The first 6 months are 39.95.
The install process was right on time, I was the first for the installer for the day. . The house had already been wired. The Modem given was Motorola Surfboard modem.
The only thing that sucked was the install date was ten days after I called to have it installed. But then again it is like this anywhere you go these days. .
I have been using Bresnan now for a year and using the 15 meg 1 meg down upgrade for about 9 months and I love it. Wish it could be faster but its whats available here.
Updated - 11/08 - 11/01 Modem Rental 3.00 Bresnan Onlin* 52.95
Bresnan Onlin* Bresnan Onlin* Speed Plus 9.95 ----- enables the 15 meg
Subtotal 65.90
the total for the month is 65.90 after the 6 month deal . . . but that is with the speed plus and to be honest I think they just updated they're tier to a point. . Speed tests to Seattle are above 15 meg now and most any speed test I am 1 meg up which is what I pay for . . . still the best for the area. .
In the mornings around 5am you can actually get 15 down

| well... they don't turn around and claim you have a modem they can not prove they rented to you and have no records of it being given or delivered to your address, nothing more than a badly copied printout that shows they had the modem 4 years ago, but nothing legal showing you signed for or agreed to rent a modem. | |

| cable montana well you guys are lucky you still get your 30 some ping while speeds are still bad. I have cable montana, 5/384, and i go through bresnan servers and i get 1-2 megs consistently during peak times and my ping can be any where from 35-100 depending on the time of day. Then all of a sudden it gets to 4-5 megs.  | |

| Re: cable montana I get maybe 5-7mb but pay for 15mb. I've been complainning for a year and nothings been done, can't even stream xbox live videos, netflix, nothing during any day time hour. Hulu.com rocks but I can't stream from them without having to buffer over and over.
I have a new Dlink Xtream Router with Wireless-N and a full gigabyte network internally. | |
