I used to do disconnections for Brighthouse and while we have no right to enter anyone’s home BHN does has the right to access their lines and taps 24/7/365. So if you are scheduled for a disconnection we will disconnect you. A bad dog in your yard means that we just have to wait for animal control to get there. A locked gate means that it is jumped. Or barring that, notice will be given the home owner concerning the lock and then it will be broken. An irate homeowner means waiting for a police escort. As for not returning BHN equipment that simply means you are passing that cost onto all their other customers, driving up the cost for all of us! So the thought that you can somehow get free cable by denying BHN access to your property is wrong. And the thought that it is somehow ok not to return the BHN equipment to them is misguided.
