Do you live in a Bright House?

I know I sure don't... my house is pretty dim.

I do *NOT* like Bright House Networks... thier service is HORRIBLE!!! I miss Time Warner Cable. :(

For those of you who don't know... the company that is now known as Bright House Networks owned 10% of TWC's cable providers... TWC decided to give them 100% of 10% of the market... (instead of 10% of 100%)

Anyhoo... ever since they became Bright House... my roadrunner performance has been cut in half. I used to get 1900kbps... now I get 600kbps. Also, been having road runner outages. Had 4 appointments to have a cable tech come out and service... out of those 4 appointments, 3 never showed up, and the 4th was extrememly late. I'm still having issues with my cable modem. (Light intermittantly goes out)

As for my cable itself... my box died... hard drive crashed. So they came out and replaced the box. Now I can't get the HBO and Showtime channels that I'm paying for!

The only good thing is the nearly 2mo free cable that I've gotten so far... of course I had to fight for that... thier customer service is HORRIBLE... half the people I speak with are so rude...

*sigh*

Back to waiting for the cable guy!

You know, I've noticed Roadrunner acting up as well. A few nights ago it was VERY screwy...I was on the phone for about an hour with Tech Support, and they couldn't find a thing. Then a day later, everything is up and running.

So THAT's it, huh?

:(

From what I've heard through the grapevine... BrightHouse isn't too bright. Lots of problems with them... *shrug*

You get 600k download speeds? I can only download at 250k. What do you have the bussiness class? And yeah my digital cable has crappy service also, but its been like that from the start. Every few minutes you hear some metalic sound, and then most digital channels dont even work right 80% of the time. And my dad says "oh its working fine"

DSL huh? How much is it? And where do you live? Is your cable digital? Road Runner isn't bad, but the "digital cable" gets annoying. Its like a crappy streaming video that screws up all the time.

I actually had the bright house guy come out to the house today lol. My digital cable channels weren't showing up on one of the boxes. But the guy did fix, and I found out that it wasnt there fault lol. I haven't had any problem with Bright House at all, except for the one I just told you about, but that was my fault.

Time Warner was always great to me. They were friendly, on time, and I never had a problem with service, with the exception of one time. And they sent out a hottie cable boi to fix it, and I ended up getting his number. So it was worth the downtime. LOL


Bright House on the other hand... I've had 5 service appointments in the past month. 3 of them, no one ever showed up, and one of them, the guy was an hour late. When I called to complain, I got this ***** who gave me the "sucks to be you" attitude.

Whatever you say, nothing can beat Adelphia in aweful service. I hate adelphia cause they do these deals with local places to advertise this junk, and where either shown "John Basedow's AM-PM Workout video" or "Crazy buffet"....God knows these people dont have money to advertise, and Adelphia has something to do with it, cause no one else I know gets em. Also, for the commercials, they increase the volume so that its like so loud, and you got to turn it down.....and this is only when the cable is working, and oh yes, last year, they changed all of our channels over night, and didnt even tell us or send us anything. The channels were not even close...example: MTV went from 52 to 78, and we have more Spanish channels then English, But Laura in America RAWKS:lol:

Well, On the big screen in the Living room, we have a digital box thinger, and it has like 900 channels, and channels from Japan, and all that junk. The tv in my room only has 99 channels, and we dont have the box. Ask your bro if he ever see's the Crazy Buffet or John Basedow commercials....hehehe....

Anyway, no matter how many channels on any tv, Im either watching The Disney Channel or MTV:rolleyes:
