 "Expensive, 100 gig cap, $1.5 per gig overage"

I looked at all the options I had but since I live out of town I was quite limited, this was the best choice. I am on the gold 16mb gold plan and pay 46.oo a month, I have been hooked up since the day Bend Cable turned Redmonds internet on 6 years ago. Through the rare problems and outages, I must admit that the customer service has been great, I would rate it an 8 at least.
The 100 gig cap sucks and I would leave BendBroadBand over it if I had a place to go. Basicly I am paying 0.46 per gig on my plan now and if they charged 0.46 per gig overage, I could live with that, but they are charging 1.5 overage which means they would rather see me gone.

"Local and relatively cheap if you use cable TV too"
"They are instituting usage caps beginning 7/1/08!"
"If you like Internet see if BendTel or Qwest DSL can help instead"

Beginning July 08, BBB will set a limit of 10G per month of bandwidth. More than that you can upgrade or pay a $1.50 per G overage charge. Since I use Skype, Internet Radio, Netflix on-line, and Amazon (TiVo), these caps are expensive and excessive. Bye-bye Bend Broadband.

"Relatively good service, connection stable and consistent. Multiple level to pick from."
"Price is getting less competitive. Service although good could be better"
"A pretty good value overall especially if you already have cable TV."

Bend BroardBand is a priviately owned cable company in central Oregon. They
have been very good compared Comcast in the Portalnd area. They offer 4 mbps
down 1 MBPS up and 6/1.5. I have the former at about $37/mo bundled with
TV the latter $45. I have the first service and consistently run 3.7 / 0.9.
