Was a subscriber to Brighthouse networks in Oldsmar,FL between 02/11/2012 through 11/30/2013.
I am a former employee/customer…happy for the extra $20 back from them
Been a customer of BH in Florida since 2008 & still am but I never heard of this class action suit
I HAVE HAD THIS SERVICE FOR OVER 15 YEARS
I was a subsciber
I was a subscriber from 2011 to 2014!
i am still a customer (not happy — but what choice do i have if i want cable; no competitors (yet?) and AT & T has stated they do not have plans now or in the future to accomodate the area i live in…)
are these ‘set top boxes’ referred to the same as the cable box you have to rent to receive premium service?
sure would be nice to see some money back from them. …seems like every time i open another bill there’s some new way they’ve figured to charge more fees/taxes/other charges that make no sense to me. I notice they keep changing the way they present their monthly bill/invoice so that by the time your sort-of get used to reading one they switch everything around to be confusing, again..
have been a subscriber for cable bright house for 10 years
I would like to know when; I would be receiving the 20 dollar check.
I had the subscriber for cable for 5 yr
I have had Bright house all the way back from 2000, and I NEVER heard anything about this lawsuit. I think they should have mailed out information to all the subscribers. I’m now paying $140.00 for service I use to pay $109.00 for. Guess its time to change companies.
Extremely disappointed – no check received but instead Brighthouse issues 6 months of EPIX for free beginning 6/1/2015. Pure junk channels and not worth a cent. This should be contested by the class action administrators.
