Customers of Bright House Networks can expect speedier broadband Internet speeds beginning in December — at no additional costs.

The company announced Tuesday that it will give a bandwidth boost to customers in each category and also plans to start offering a high-end 300 megabit per second tier of service in early 2015.

Bright House is offering download speeds of up to 150 Mbps (megabits per second) for new and existing customers. The category breakdown looks like this:

• Standard Internet will move from 10 Mbps to 15 Mbps;

• Lightning 30 Mbps to 35 Mbps;

• Lightning 60 Mbps will move to 75 Mbps;

• Lightning 90 Mbps will move to 150 Mbps.

The move is an acknowledgment on Bright House's part that more and more of its customers are using the Internet for gaming but also streaming programming from such sites as Netflix, Hulu.com and others.
