 Still waiting

I'm still waiting for them to offer number porting for OV before signing up. Told one of their telemarketers recently that as soon as they offer that, they will have a triple-play customer.

Like OOL when it was new...

I expect them to rachet up the charges nicely after a time. OOL used to be $30/month. I bailed when it went to $45 ($50 for me as a non-video sub). With triple play the price is low enough to get you on it, plus CV now has the added bonus of tying customers to a phone number they may not want to change. VOIP is coming on strong, but I like my POTS just fine for now.

vs. SBC

I'm not sure about the local economy where this is offered. But I get my DSL, Telephone, and Dish TV (with DVR) for just about $95.

Doesn't seem like a great deal...plus my 911 works and I can still make calls in power outages.

You can't get the digital video service for $29.95 per month, because you have to pay an extra $5.24 per month for each decoder box.

I have the origional triple play deal.I also have used OV for quite sometime now and it has gotten better.
911 works here as I had to call the police a few times for stuff.Number porting should be around soon if not already in some areas.411 works too.

Is the deal great/good?
For new customers yes....in time it will be expensive.

Im hopeing verizon does fiber correctly in my OOL area and offer phone/inet/and hdtv.

Hmmm, that would certainly be misleading if they didn't include the first box.

Hopefully someone getting the triple play chimes in.

@optonline.net

I used to use Verizon DSL with their phone service for $90 a month, with OOL I wind up paying the same price for better internet (and phone) plus cable TV. So for me..the decision was simple, especially with my DSL crapping out and the techs blaming it on me (Check the NYC Verizon threads to see how much trouble people have been having). After a year, FIOC should be available, so the cost should stay low or get even lower, so I'm pretty happy with the setup.

yes, the first box is free

they actually got me back in a "double play" offer, since I had left CV 3 years ago during the YES disputes (although I stayed with OOL) - they gave me the deal on iO gold and OOL without having to sign up for OV

Figured you'd chime-in negatively about this. As a matter of fact, just got it installed and the 29.95 includes the DCT. First month, with taxes, was around 98.00 for phone, digital cable, and OOL (which kicks your Verizon's ass in both customer support and speed.)

Sure, but your DSL provider isn't giving you 10Mbps/1Mbps service now are they?

Re: Not quite

Thanks for clarifying that. Serves me right for believing what's published on Cablevision's web site.

As far as Verizon's ass is concerned, the best customer support is one that you never need. And I haven't had to call Verizon customer support. My DSL connection works 24/7 for months at a time, which is something that my OOL connection never did. Plus, the best thing about Verizon DSL is that I'm giving Cablevision $500 less per year than I used to!

And, of course, my Verizon phone service is $17 per month, which is much cheaper than that crappy VoIP service provided by Cablevision, and my phone works all the time, even during power failures.

For me it was not really "better internet", just faster internet. As the price went up, usenet access deteriorated to a point where I subscribed to a third party provider, effectively upping my monthly fee by $12. Usenet isn't a big deal for most I guess but it killed OOL for me.

no 1.5/386. I won't get into debates on real speed or anything. It's pretty much all I need personally so I'm ok with it.

Yea, cheaper than OV because it has zero features...

I get unlimited long distance and all of the features of verizon's complete package. Ha, you don't even get caller ID for your $17.00/mo. Ah, and if it isn't metered, we both know that it's more than that when you factor in their user fees and taxes.

I had a similar deal with Comcast

Except it's more like Triple Pay than Triple Play.
