I no longer live in a bright house area but when I did have it I loved it. My experience with the customer service there was almost always quick and pleasant. I now have dish and AT & T for my internet and I’m not as happy. True I have more channels than I had with BH but most are channels I don’t even care about, the ones that I do can about cost me extra (locals channels that is). The biggest shock with dish is the start out price for more channels is indeed cheaper, but they nickel and dime you for everything else. Things from talking to live people to not having a phone line connected to my receiver all cost extra. Not to mention if anything happens and I need a trouble call to my house it costs more money. With BH all trouble calls were free. The biggest issue for me was having to sign a contract. To get out of it from day one would have cost me $420 dollars. Strait forward Dish looked like an awesome deal, but after adding up the additional charges I was happier with cable. The lesser of two evils……

Bright House is so lame. No NFL Network….No Sunday Ticket on Bright house. Go with Direct TV, or if you dont care about sports, Dish TV. Either one smokes Bright House hands down.

I canceled with Brighthouse and went with Verizon FIOS.

I had a Brighthouse deal from May of 2008 til May 2009, then I couldn’t believe how much the bill went up. Safe to say I quickly and quietly quit my cable service with them. I moved over to Dish Network for my satellite tv and got Verizon for home phone and internet, unfortunately they didnt have Verizon Fios deployed in my area yet, hopefully by the end of the year I will be on Fiber.

Here is my frustration with Brighthouse, the customer service. It seems like they dont give a rats a$$ about anything. Dont care about your bill, your picture quality, your internet speed, that your phone doesnt sound good. No wonder people keep dumping these clowns for Dish Network and Directv

Brighthouse cant hold a candle to Dish Network when it comes to HD. I got a great Dish Network special last month, and was absolutely shocked how much HD there is on satellite TV compared to Bright House.

This would be great. Merging these two would give customers access to Sunday ticket, and much more content.
