 "Very Good Speed with boost. I see macroblocking issues on some channels some times"
 "They should indicate which tier gets which premium channels in the channel guide"
 "Very good overall especially if you can trouble shoot any problems yourself."

They can cap upload speed (I've never been capped though) without stating what the rules are at all! They have right to control traffic but it's unethical without guidelines.
TV channels are spaced awkwardly which means I rarely visit the higher numbers. They don't signify which services/channels are "premium" in the channel guide.
We moved into the area and was given no idea about "Triple Play" until we got the Cable service and saw the commercials. Kinda of a** backwards marketing. We complained and got the Triple Play after explaining the above.

| Re: Premium Channel Indicator I've had cable for many years (decades). The Channel lineup keeps growing over time and I would like to know what's premium while looking at the guide, in front of my TV, not when I'm online, in front of my computers.
They can asterisk the premium channels or they can enclose the tier needed for the channel in brackets.
With your reasoning I should just use TV-Guide and they shouldn't include a Channel Guide at all.
It's about CONVENIENCE.
said by JaM4150 :Why should their tv listing channel have an indicator for which channels are premium or not? Cable tv service has been around for a long time and I think its safe to say that a lot of people would already know for sure what is a premium channel and what isn't. Besides you have their OOL service. Are you telling us that you couldn't check online which channels are premium or not with Cablevision? | |

|  Get low rates NOW !
 want to get a better rate,,, yes, all the broadcasters rates are going up in 08, but only by a few $$ .. with Comcast looking at cablevision, Verizon is trying to capture many customers with great offers and locked in rates, cable is under pressure loosing 500+ customers a day to Verizon, the only way they can keep their customers is through the disconect /retention department,,, usually they can only offer a 6month promotion, BUT,, if you call or schedule a installation with Verizon,, have a work order number... "" you call that department with cable,, tell them you want to disconect, tell them you are going to Verizon,, and give them the order # from Verizon-FIOS of all 3 services.. they then can offer you a 1yr. ( NEW ) promotion,, or in some areas out in LI, a 2yr is available..
want the lower rates before they go up - call today , get the work order number from FIOS - on ALL 3 services,, and they can make the offer, or else they can not do it..
the pepople who work there are under a lot of pressure, so much pressure, they keep having high turn over every month, due to the large amoutn of disconections,, look in the paper, every week for the past 6 months, they are allway hiring,, why is that,, they don't want to keep employees, it's cheeper for them to get rid of them and hire new for less,,, they will do what ever it takes to get rid of an employee after 6 months in that department, I guess right now - they are only focused on "trying" to keep customers, rather their employees...   | |
