| 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. -- I support the right to keep and arm bears. |

| 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. -- Time is an abstract concept invented by carbon based life forms to monitor their constant decay.-Thunderclese |

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.

| 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. |

| reply to Optimized 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 -- Ian Paisley is the REAL threat to peace. |

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. 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.) -- Bizarro I Love You |

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. -- "I truly am not that concerned about him." Pres. Bush on Osama bin Laden, March 13, 2002 |

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. -- Time is an abstract concept invented by carbon based life forms to monitor their constant decay.-Thunderclese |

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. -- Bizarro I Love You |
