Bresnan Integration/Conversion

Hey guys, I'm in a Bresnan area (Montana) and I'm wondering if anyone on here knows when we'll be seeing some improvements to our service. Also, one thing that's not clear is even *if* we'll be rebranded as Cablevision or if Cablevision will be keeping the Bresnan name. Thanks for any info anyone has!

It looks like it starting to change over.

But then you can read these pages which make it sound like it will stay as Bresnan.

Sometimes it takes two years to fully integrate logos, people, trucks, and information to one company.

I think it will stay as Bresnan and then sold at the later date.

Hey Markie, welcome to our cable community. I 'm curious what Bresnan currently offers in system, in terms of broadband speeds, channel capacity, bandwidth, etc. I don't know if Bresnen will adopt the Optimum name, but I'll bet they'll offer some upgrade in some area.

When Cablevision bought the system I am in it was a very quick change. Within a year they had everything changed over.

If I were to guess I would bet on the name staying the same. Seemed like it was a family friend buyout/bailout.

catvtek,

I'm kinda thinking that, almost in honor. Bill Bresnan was a friend of James Dolan from my understanding. Actually, a New Yorker also - Bresnan was already a New York based company. When Bill Bresnan died, his family wanted out of the cable business.

I just hope that keeping the name doesn't mean we don't get the higher speed goodness.

Bresnan's download speed isn't bad - 18mbps on the highest tier, 8mbps on the standard. But the upload speeds are a pathetic joke - 1mbps on the highest tier, 384kbps on the standard!
