Have you registered for your My Services account yet? Before I knew what it was all about, I wasn’t in too much of a hurry to sign up. Then some of my fellow team members were chatting about some of the new apps and added features, so I decided to take the plunge and connect my residential account to My Services. Right away, I discovered a whole new world…It’s kind of like having backstage tickets to your favorite concert…an ALL ACCESS type of thing.

Here are the five reasons why a My Services account will make you smile:

1. SERVICE. You can actually see your service appointments and keep tabs on your Bright House equipment (check the status, reset boxes, etc.)

2. ACCESS. From anywhere and at anytime, you can check your voice mail and use the many free Home Phone features like Selective Call Forwarding and Selective Call Forwarding.

3. CONNECT. When you forget (or others do), you can record your favorite shows on your DVR because your My Services account keeps you connected to your Remote DVR Manager.

4. SPORTS. For sports fans, there’s plenty of ESPN for you, including: WatchESPN mobile app, Speed2.com and ESPNnetworks.com with access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Goal Line and ESPN Buzzer Beater.

5. INFORMATION. Through Easy Gadget, see who’s calling your Home Phone from your desktop or mobile phone and depending on what you’re working on, you can choose to take the call.

For service, access, connection, sports and information — get your My Services account now. After timing myself, it took about 15 seconds to fill out my name, email address and Bright House Networks account number.

Once you have it all set up, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear. Enjoy your new helper, My Services!
