Broadband on St Croix?

There are several providers. For St Croix Broadband VI or Innovative would be your best bets for service...

The answer you are looking for is in your title. BroadbandVI

10 mbps speeds are definitely not a problem in the VI.

Wish I had them here!

I've got 25mb down 2mb up currently.... no issues with it aside from ocattional drops (which I assume are the aging cable infrastructure)

Fiber is now available at the home as yet, but it will be soon (though who pays for the last mile... that's still in question)

BBVI can resell VINGN, Choice can resell VINGN & BIT is now an "ISP", and will be re-selling VINGN...

but as of yet I have seen nothing about the last mile, getting fiber into houses.

Which service are you paying for to get 25 down and 2 up? BBVI plus (99 plan) gets me 7.75 down (looks and feels capped) and 2up.

Where are you getting that from? BroadbandVI seems to offer 10mbps to small businesses for $300/month but their website indicates that the highest for residential is 5. I don't think your assertion that 10mbps is "definitely not a problem" is true - not yet anyway.

I love BBVI, Mike is cool as hell; but I love fast internet better....

Innovative's "evo" package is 25/2 for $99/month

I have Innovative also - the $60 plan. I have been really happy with it. Rarely a drop off. I don't really ever measure my speeds - I have no problem watching hulu, netflix and downloading movies is pretty quick.

I had choice in STT which worked GREAT for me as I wias way up tip top mountain facing peterborg where they had tower. But in STX Choice was SO BAD I only had it for like 3 days and went Innovative.

BBVI is working on higher speed residential someone even posted here about it. The $299.00/mo is for a 50 up/down connection.....

That must be under enterprise class since
SMALL BUSINESS PLATINUM

10Mbps download, 2Mbps upload - $299.95/month

why would someone choose that one i wonder?

Yes, that's what I saw on their website.

That's a ridiculous amount of money to have to pay for higher speed internet.
Frankly, we all pay too much now but almost $300 a month is obscene.

because it comes with an SLA & the connection is guaranteed... when you go to enterprise levels we have different requirements, I can't just run (what we call) "dirty internet"... most businesses want something with more assurances & guaranteed connection speeds.

50 Meg for 300 a month is high ?!?!? That price per month also gets you a wireless backup connection

If you need and can afford to pay $3600 a year for a single utility service, go for it.
IMO, it's high to outrageous.

I have no problem paying $299 on month for my BBVI service. I have extremely reliable service and consistent speeds well beyond my expectations. I'm not even going to post what I'm running at right now. It'll just piss you off.

BBVI is the best provider in my opinion. I would never leave them.

Alana, business plans are priced differently than residential plans. Same with phone service, insurance, power, etc. We have one customer who has two 1Gbps microwave connections....trust me, they pay more than $3600/year for those connections.

How does that compare to stateside pricing for comparable service?
Sorry, but I think $99.95 is high for my residential service.
Not that I don't like BBVI, I just think, we, in the VI always end up paying more for less. As mentioned, just my 2¢ piece.

You can easily find comparative stateside prices by area on a quick Google. If you don't need the super highway then don't buy it. I don't have any need to stream movies or anything along those lines and for the $171/month Innovative package I get telephone, cable TV (with premium channels, HD and DVD) and perfectly fine internet.

Speed varies the key down here. they advertise up do 25. It doesn't mean you will get it. I'm an IT guy and work full time on the internet. It is rarely a problem and the days that it is I jump of my phone as a backup. I use broadband.vi.

I'm trying to try out innovative. My install window was 8-12 today. I called at 12:30 they said I'll be next he's almost done.
It is now nearly 3....still waiting.

You've lived here how long? 😀
