Talk:Bright House Networks

message: Bandwidth throttling is a huge issue right now for consumers and a lot of ISPs are doing it by restricting applications and limiting bandwidth for others, such as bittorrent traffic. If anyone has any information on whether Bright House does it or not, it should be posted. My personal experience is that it appears that Bright House may be doing it (in comparison to my use of Comcast and other ISPs), but I don't have solid info. Jamie 20:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Brighthouse might not limit traffic but they have many issues with their service that I believe need to be mentioned.  Multiple times a week their internet service will go down.  Also, the quality of thier digital tv service is terrible.  I have been to many customers houses, and have not seen one decent picture quality on screen (for both SDTVs and HDTVs).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvferret (talk • contribs) 00:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree and believe you may be making a hasty generalization. The quality of all the services is, at the very least, similar to the other major cable/phone/internet provider, in my opinion superior. Not to mention multiple J.D. Power and Associates' Awards and the fact that Bright House Networks provides internet to almost every counties' school system and government in Tampa Bay. Also, weigh the abundant negative press the other major carrier has received in local media, most notably, Tampa Tribune. Charles 07:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hate to tell you, but you are wrong.  My cousin still has bright house and has many of the issues I had.  I switched over too ATT DSL and have had hardly any problems with them.  JD Power means nothing.  The internet at the schools here (in Orlando)...thats a joke.  Problems with it all the time and usually pretty slow.  I dont know about thier service in Tampa, but atleast in Orange/Brevard county, its pretty lousy.Dvferret (talk) 17:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: News service clarification

message: well Bright House Networks and Time Warner Cable seems to be facing a possible carriage disputer with the News Corporation owned cable networks and TV stations. this will start on January 1, 2010. in fact Fox has started a campaign to demand there viewers to make Time Warner Cable & Bright House Networks not pull the News Corporation Cable channels and FOX and MyNetworkTV O&O Stations off of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks. in fact here's that site: http://www.keepfoxon.com--Boutitbenza 69 9 (talk) 21:22, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This happens to all carriers all the time. It does not seem encyclopedic. If you surf to http://www.keepfoxon.com its geared towards Cablevision subscribers. The idea is to scare consumers into calling their provider when the provider is trying to negotiate lower prices on behalf of the subscriber. In other words, Fox wants more money and in the end subscribers will have to pay for any increases. Charles 04:18, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Another carriage dispute in the making- with the News Corporation networks/stations

message: We say
> All of the systems now owned by Bright House were owned by the Time Warner Entertainment - Advance/Newhouse Partnership but, under a deal struck in 2003, Advance/Newhouse took direct management and operational responsibility for portion of the partnership cable systems roughly equal to their equity.
But that's not quite accurate.  A friend of mine -- I'm trying to figure out a suitable way to source this -- was employed by them all the way back to when they were Vision Cable, competing with Paragon in Pinellas County, FL, and tells me her paychecks have *always* said "Advance/Newhouse Cable Partnership", whether the branding was VC, TW or BH.--Baylink (talk) 03:54, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm not an experienced Wikipedian, but I feel like the "Awards and Recognition" section needs to go. It's an advertisement. It doesn't cite any sources, it's got a skewed POV, and it doesn't contribute anything meaningful to the article. Would I be violating any rules of etiquette if I just gave it the axe?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.10.250.11 (talk) 06:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

{ { citation-needed } }
With the exception of the Paragon homes Bright House picked up in St Petersburg, all the Bright House customers in Pinellas County FL were always customers of Advance/Newhouse, which has owned the major primary cable company in the county since before I moved here in 1981.  Vision Cable, then Time Warner, through a marketing agreement tied to the usage of the Road Runner trademark, and now Bright House; I've known people who've been employees in all three regimes, and all tell me their paychecks have been made out by "Advance/Newhouse Cable Partnership", for the entire 35 years.  So I have to assume the quoted graf above is inaccurate.  I don't have a quotable cite, but I don't see one on that either.  So unless someone can provide one, I'm going to take it out.--Baylink (talk) 00:07, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
