They need to wake up and get ready, because the second FiOs hits the poconos, they'll be out of a job.
So they are at least safe for the next 20 years....:) ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20817897 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:28:42 EDT Re: Blue Ridge Cable - PA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20756009 jmoz2989 : Well seeing that FiOS hasn't been deployed yet north of Philly, it will be a while until Stroudsburg gets it. DSL is weak and that is the only competition standing against PTD.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20756009 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 21:34:17 EDT Re: Blue Ridge Cable - PA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20751767 flyingjackal : blue ridge is a great company.... just the internet service they offer (i sadly use)

while it is fast and always on....

they are very shady in how they deal with customers.

They (PennTeleData) act cocky and treat customers like crap, they also have a lot of shady things they do with their TOS. Their highest bandwidth tier never sees the advertised 15000 download, more like 12000. One thing that pisses me, and alot of other PTD users... is the Bandwidth caps. They are supposedly 80GB down/45GB up as of maybe 4-6 months ago. Besides the fact that anyone who actually uses their internet for what it's designed for will burn up 80GBs in about 2-3 weeks. The problem is, these "caps" and NEVER advertised, not even in the fine print.

I happen to know a bit about how they run the buisness, and they waste their own time and money because of their stupidity.... File cabinets at a job agency is one thing, but an internet company should have abolished alphabetized file cabinets and got a damn server. Then they don't need to waste time and manpower doing what servers already do for free. Their minimal services they offer are also crap. G-mail gives me 6GB of email for free... I believe PTD gives me about 10-15 MB as part of the ~$60/month service.

They need to wake up and get ready, because the second FiOs hits the poconos, they'll be out of a job.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20751767 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:58:31 EDT Re: Blue Ridge Cable - PA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20435237 cypherstream : »www.cedmagazine.com/InGrid-home-···dge.aspx

InGrid has been selected by Blue Ridge Communications, a cable operator in northeastern Pennsylvania, to deliver its home security offering to Blue Ridge’s high-speed Internet and triple-play customers.

InGrid’s service provides Blue Ridge’s subscribers with always-on broadband, 24/7 monitoring and remote access to their homes – via a Web portal, mobile phone or PDA. Additional features of the service include the ability to receive text messages for customer-defined events and up-to-the-minute weather alerts.

InGrid said that its products have been designed to enable Blue Ridge customers to easily install the system themselves and then enjoy the convenience of monitoring and controlling what is happening inside of their homes.

InGrid Home Security is designed to address the needs of the Pocono, Penn., region’s large commuter population and families that spend a significant amount of time outside of their homes, InGrid said. Blue Ridge will offer InGrid Home Security services as part of its new digital offering.

“We consistently strive to deliver new high-speed Internet, digital phone and digital cable services uniquely suited to meet our customers’ lifestyles,” said Mark Masenheimer, GM of Blue Ridge. “Our partnership with InGrid is a perfect example of how we provide our customers complete technology solutions that offer convenience, an improved level of protection and the ability to remain connected to their homes.”

Each InGrid system has built-in redundancies and is monitored 24/7 with response from Guardian Protection Services, a privately held security company.

Blue Ridge Communications is the nation’s 18th-largest cable TV provider and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pencor Services.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20435237 Mon, 05 May 2008 15:48:28 EDT Re: Blue Ridge Cable - PA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20424898 stunnerstorm : Outdoor Channel HD and History Channel HD added 5/2]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20424898 Sat, 03 May 2008 07:02:10 EDT Re: Blue Ridge Cable - PA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20355629 cypherstream : Im in lords valley right now visiting family.

Since that time they have added:

VS./Golf HD
The Weather Channel HD (no local on the 8's in HD yet. It's the national feed)
Sportsnet NY HD
Yes Network HD
CNN HD
Nat Geo HD
MHD(which really isn't worth anyones time)

So 7 HD channels in 2 months isn't bad at all for a total of 27 and they say many more to come.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20296388 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 11:58:50 EDT
