I've been on BrightHouse 40/5, even though I can get FiOS 35/35 for the same price. And I host servers here, so you know faster upload appeals to me.
So why have I stayed with BH? They're a good company. They support their infrastructure and treat their customers well.
This FiOS speed increase - it might inspire me to jump ship. I keep hearing rumors about BH increasing their top tiers, but it never seems to materialize.
No doubt, Bright House has a way better TV product than Verizon. Bright House has more HD channels than any other provider in the nation, 150+. They are constantly adding new and niche networks instead of giving everyone who wants to watch something besides ESPN in HD the finger. Verizon's claim of being the "HD leader" is laughable when one looks at Bright House's lineup.
