Fourth Year in a Row Shows that Again and Again Bright House Networks Ranks First in Customer Service with J D Power and Associates Awards

Maitland, FL--Bright House Networks continues to receive recognition for customer service for their products and services. The company has again earned national attention by the highly respected J.D.

Christian Fenger, President of Bright House Networks Central Florida Division. “Our customer service centers are local and our operators are available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, including holidays.”
