Default New to Fernandina!

Just bought new home in Fernandina and moving down as soon as we sell NY home.
Need much advice on many subjects such as Cable TV/ Internet providers. All suggestions appreciated.

We use Bright House for cable and internet. Very pleased. If you do need to call them, you get to talk to a real person!

Welcome to TV and Fernandina! We have used Bright House since moving here nearly 4 years ago. We originally had problems with the wireless internet but they finally got it worked out. We have a bundle that includes TV, internet and telephone. This could have changed, but I don't believe they require a contract so you could easily change if you're not happy or get a better offer. I think they have new ownership so who knows what changes will be coming.

Good luck selling your house.

I have no dog in this fight...yes, Bright House and Time Warner were purchased by Charter Communications in May according to a 5/18/2016 article in the LA Times. The Bright House and Time Warner names will eventually go away and be called Spectrum. Charter is now the nation's second largest broadband internet provider and third largest pay-TV distributor.

Default Thank you all.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. Please keep it coming. I have rented several time at TV, and was not impressed with Comcast. Do you all have good feelings toward Brighthouse/Charter?
Is the phone 911 enhanced and capable? Concerned for emergencies.
I am a heavy data user and need reliability.
On another issue, what do you all think of electrical outages at the TV. I have homes in NE Pa and NY and have had many outages. What is the frequency here in TV?

Thanks again
