I have been a Bright House customer for numerous years and have had consistent problems lack of service and not keeping up their local equipment to the point where they can deliver the service they are being paid for.
I have 4 HDDVR boxes, and a bundled package. Sunday I started to experience a serious diminished signal, our TVs were cutting in and out, tiling, lagging and skipping on live shows.
On Sunday 08/03, I called Bright House Customer care, they had me reset all of the cable boxes which had no affect, I still experienced a serious diminished signal, our TVs were cutting in and out, tiling, lagging and skipping on live shows. The customer service representative said that she would have to schedule an appointment for a technician to come out, the first available appointment was Tuesday between the hours of 10:00 and 12:00 noon. I accepted the appointment and my wife had to take the day off from work.
The repair technician arrived just before noon, he was a private sub contractor working for Knight Enterprises, not an actual Bright House Employee. He added a signal booster, which is interesting because the last time we had a problem the technician came out and removed a signal booster and said that the booster was pushing the signal out of range. So this technician put a booster back on. After my wife explained this to him.
I arrived home from work, turned the TV on in my den to find that the reception was actually worse.
We immediately called Bright House and complained and asked that they send out another technician, the Bright House rep said that a technician would be out to our house no later that 8:00 P.M. That day. Approximately 20 minutes after we hung up with the Bright House customer care, we received a call from the same technician that was at our house earlier in the day and said that he was told since he was the original technician he had to come back out and fix the problem. The Technician went on to ask us if he could come back tomorrow as he is home and he has approximately 1 hour drive to get to our house and another 1 hour drive back home. When he was told no we wanted it fixed today, he pleaded to let him come first thing in the morning, at the end he ended up refusing to come back today before 8:00 pm as Bright House promised.
We called bright House customer service, informing them of the above only to be told that it is their policy that the same technician must return to fix the problem. When we complained further, we were told that she would place a trouble ticket and if we did not hear within a half hour call back. Needless to say we did not hear back, called again was put on hold for 20-minutes several times to be told there is nothing they can do.
I am now at 4 days without cable TV and counting. They certainly know how to send bills, but provide what people pay for not so much!
