There is a new Internet provider in the county: Hernando Broadband. They are competing with Brighthouse and AT&T’s DSL. They are using a technology called fixed wireless broadband.
This allows them to deliver broadband service over radio signals as opposed to running wires to each house served. This enables them to deliver high speed internet connections without the initial cost and time required to run cables. They cover a portion of the county surrounding Brooksville and are looking to increase their coverage by adding towers around Hernando County.
Hernando Broadband was started by three guys who worked together at Flagstone Pavers in Brooksville John Cain, Matthew Wallace, & Raymond Schott. They have been working on setting up this infrastructure for a number of months.
They currently offer three plans 5Mbps up & down $19.95 per month, 15Mbps up & down $ 34.95 per month, and 30Mbps up & down $49.95 per month. They plan to increase the speed of the top plan as more bandwidth becomes available without increasing the price. The initial install runs from $66 to $99 depending on the type of equipment required by the signal strength. They say the initial setup includes the first months service.
