Maitland, FL--J.D. Power and Associates announced Bright House Networks for delivery of Road Runner as the highest ranking Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the South Region as a result of the 2008 ISP Residential Customer Satisfaction Study. J.D. Power and Associates measured customer satisfaction with high-speed and dial-up Internet service providers based on five factors: performance and reliability, cost of service, offerings and promotions, billing and customer service. Bright House Networks for the delivery of Road Runner ranked highest in overall performance in cost of service, customer service and billing. "The news from J.D. Power and Associates adds great value to the high level of service Bright House Networks provides every day to customers,” said J. Christian Fenger, President of Bright House Networks Central Florida Division. “We are incredibly proud of our employees. We thank our customers for acknowledging our commitment to them as we bring High Speed Internet to homes in Central Florida.” Bright House Networks delivers Road Runner throughout the areas surveyed in the South Region consisting of Orlando and Tampa Bay in Florida, as well as Birmingham, AL. “In our service areas, we are the exclusive provider of Road Runner as it is only available on Bright House Networks,” Fenger said. According to J.D. Power and Associates, among Internet customers, 65 percent report bundling their Internet service with one or more telecommunications services, compared with 52 percent in 2007. The 2008 Internet Service Provider (ISP) Residential Customer Satisfaction Study is based on responses from more than 16,933 residential customers of Internet service providers nationwide. The study was fielded in July 2008.
