I have SB5100 for over 8 years and it acts up from time to time, generally late night where all of the sudden only 1-3 greens light up.
I called a few times BH when that happens, but the answer was always "no service is down"... which may be true because I can see a few Routers in the neighborhood up and running.
Is it time to have the SB5100 replaced? Will I be getting another Motorola? ( a few years ago I called to have it replaced -because of service interruptions-, but when the tech came, he suggested I keep the Motorola, because the replacement at that time was a "generic" which he did not recommend... so he fixed the problem which was software related and I kept it.)

You say late at night....how late and what region are you in?

However, I would call first and not order online. Often you get a better price over the phone. At least I did. :D

So, that means that only 68.4% of your customers are satisfied? Wow... at my job, if we fell below 97%, we'd be seeing a change in upper management soon.

I've had RoadRunner from TWC/BHN since 1999. In that time, I've lived in three different houses, all in your Central Florida service area. One was in a brand new neighborhood (so there were brand new lines in that neighborhood), one was in a neighborhood that was built in the 80's, and one that was built in the late 50's/early 60's. Even in the old neighborhood, the quality of service was very good.

I can count on one hand the number of times that I've had problems with my Internet service over the past 13 years. Other than the complications that are caused by the way my account is split between residential/business, I've been very happy with the service.

I don't understand why anyone would be dissatisfied with the reliability of the connection. My BHN Internet at home has been more reliable than any of the hundreds of dedicated data circuits we have at work.

For ISP's that is actually a very respectable result. Generally speaking some folks like to hate their ISP....lets call it fashionable to hate their ISP so no matter what you do...it will be the wrong thing for some.

stevedaytona posted : @ Xpert

Thanks. I will do so when I am ready to change which won't be until early next month. Was hoping to get some info beforehand but obviously that isn't the way it works.

@ AMejia

The reason I got Home Phone was because my blind Father-in-Law was going to be living with us (this was in 2011). We previously had Lingo (VOIP) but didn't want him to be without phone just because internet was out plus our Lingo box had to be rebooted from time to time. My father-in-law will be moving out next month so the reason for having Home Phone will disappear and we will probably just go with using our cell phones.

So any reduction in our BHN bill won't be redistributed somewhere else to another phone provider.

AMejia1976 posted : Honestly; I would keep phone service. From looking at my other options for phone service BH is the most cost effective. I also REALLY like having one less bill to pay.

For the Combo+ I believe it fluctuates; but is never more than $130. From my experience at least.

Like Xpert said; chat with a specialist... I am sure they will take care of you.

Right now I have combo plus @ 110.00 per month. Again, this is CFL. Not sure if DB is considered same.

Good luck.

@l3x

Yes, it is the same I believe. $110 is the price quoted on the website for new customers, that is the promotional price but nowhere is the regular price given.

We have plenty of existing customer options....please open a direct forums thread and ill make it simple for you and have a regional specialist call you to discuss them.

stevedaytona posted : Thanks Ameija & opp for the documents which are partly helpful.

Only partly because I still have no idea if the $130 I am being charged for Combo Plus is correct since no bundled prices are shown on the price list. Likewise I have no clue what saving I would make if I discontinued phone service.

Oh well, I tried.

@l3x

I haven't got one in years, and yes they should have price list on web site. There is FCC law (or was anyway) saying they had to have list on their site but obviously got around it somehow.

No there isn't such a law OPP.

Our folks would be happy to review your billing with you by phone. A simple call to your local CARE office is all that is needed.

Yes I realize I can call but it would be so much easier (for me anyway) if I could just see the pricing structure before calling to make changes (or not) - then I would be able to evaluate my options in advance (which would save everyone time).

Why is it so difficult to publish your pricing list?

Why is it pricing seems such a big secret?

The only prices on the Brighthouse website are the promotional prices - nowhere does it say what the regular pricing is. Neither does it say anywhere how much you pay for additional boxes - or what the difference is if I were to stop DVR service (which I am considering).

I'd like to be able to check my bill and make sure it's right but that seems impossible.

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the current pricing structure?
