Bright House Networks has increased the download speed of its top data tier to 60 Mbps across its footprint, while offering small- and medium-size businesses a new speed of 70 Mbps.
Bright House Networks’ DOCSIS 3.0-based Lightning Internet service increased from 40 Mbps to 60 Mbps on the downstream while maintaining 5 Mbps on the upstream. The business wideband offering also has 5 Mbps up.
Bright House Networks, which is the nation’s sixth-largest cable operator, first launched its wideband service in Tampa Bay – where it competes against Verizon – in 2009.
The data tiers also include enhanced email, online security, public Wi-Fi, McAfee Antivirus, parental controls and 24-hour customer support and generally cost $5 more per month, depending on a customer’s current service level.
In addition, Bright House Networks’ Turbo High-Speed Internet now has download speeds of up to 30 Mbps instead of the previous 20 Mbps.
