Hopefully Comcast doesn't have caps in my area after the merger. Luckily I have Verizon fios in my area. I said faster internet like 300 mbps because the US is behind most countries for internet like UK. We created the internet and we should have the fastest internet. |

If memory serves they are not enforcing hard caps anywhere except for the most serious of abusers...now I could be wrong but... |

I would love to see the caps go away from all providers. It's very frustrating to be capped on your home internet usage. I would probably not exceed those caps, but it's a pain to be tied down. Brighthouse is great when it comes to caps. I've heard no talk about them and I really hope that continues. |

Caps is a way of saying fuck the internet you don't need it anymore. No that's not how it works. Instead of building up their infrastructure and being more future proof. They said the reason why it's slow because you're using too much. The internet is a very valuable source of information. It successfully replaced encyclopedia, dictionary, and libraries. I can't remember when did I go to the library to do research. Now I do my research online. The internet at this point of time is a necessity of life. If it's a necessity of life it should be taxed the way it is. Like it or not the internet is your life. If any one tells to to stop using the internet they might as well go to the Amish route and be a hunter. |

WHDVR enhanced to where not only can you View Recorded List and playback recorded shows on Non-DVR remote Boxes, but you could also set a Recording from a Remote Box to the 6 Tuner WHDVR. |

I would kill off the personal DVR's and give everyone a DVR in the cloud. When you record a TV show, movie etc it would be saved to a server and not a user box.
That way if box dies etc you don't lose access to your saved recorded. |

Well unless you are going to run the DVR software in the cloud then I can see why speed wouldn't matter. |

The interface to the cloud based storage would remain on the DVR and even then...there are two networks (of sorts without getting too technical about it) HSD and Video....while they ride along the same transport there is ample bandwidth to do whats needed. But frankly there are several much larger hurdles to get past none of them technical....hint: content holder.... |

1. Faster Upload Speeds as others have said. 60mb down is plenty for me, but 5mb up is just not enough most of the time. 2. The ability to dim the clock on the Cisco 8742 DVR (and maybe all boxes). This may sound crazy, but the clock on the 8742 box is really bright at night. Right now, I only have the option to turn it on, off, or show the current channel. I've had to turn the clock off on the bedroom DVR for now so that I can sleep... lol. 3. The ability to watch TV anywhere with the Brighthouse TV App. I know FIOS has this, so I'm sure it's only a matter of time, and I know this is mostly about the content providers being reasonable and allowing this to happen. (I really wish they would just relax a little bit. We're all going to watch their shows, and the commericals, and they're going to make money... even if they DO actually decide to join the 21st Century and allow providers like Brighthouse to offer these services to their customers). Again, I know there's only so much that BH can do about this, but it is still a request. 4. The ability to watch DVR-recorded programs anywhere through the BHTV app. (basically related to #3). 5. Did I mention faster upload speeds? lol |
