|  Cablevision works for me..................
I have all three services installed almost 2yrs, and now - 40 Hi-Def channels included... when I sat back and thought about it, I have io Fam, with over 180 channels, I look forward to my News 12,, I can order movies as I need, I even get some for free,,, along with my high Speed internet,, which has been working quite well,, with an added firewall protection,, built in,, and the phone, with 40 calling features including free 411,,,,, plus 1 box, my bill has been the same since, even after my promotion had ended,,, I don't understand what people are complaining about, I get the same bill each month, unless I add something or remove it,, they call it partial month billing, ok, so what's so hard about that too understand..?? your paying for services that you have used at the time, and.....??? they have customer service open 7days a week 24hours a day..? where can you go for that..? allways someone to talk to..?
I have other friends who had jumped over to FIOS,, one mishap, they don't disclose in full detail is the taxes and surcharges on everything, the video,the internet and the phone,,, they tax you on all 3 services,( based on useage ), oh, and get this,, the Box, they mount on or inside - the house,, needs electric to run **,, it goes in to your electric,, and you have to pay taxes and surcharges on that to...? so over all wheres the savings there,,
Verizons customer services is allways on hold, never there after 6pm,, differn't stories each time..? when you ask about bill ..? after this mess, they switched back to Cablevision,, others who live in Comcast,areas, went back to them as well.... with those 2 companies, at least you know what your getting for your money... both cable companies your only charged taxes on their equiptment and video,,, why would anyone switch ...?? stay with what you have and work it out,, someone at either Cable company allways helpful or at least try...
who wants to sit around all day to have the phone company all day for an install.. ? then have to deal with the bill... Verizon also charges to take their equiptment back,,, ask about that price...."

Re: Cablevision works for me
There are no taxes on Fios internet. My Fios has been absolutly rock solid for over a year, in contrast to my year-long, unresolved lousy speeds of OOL every evening during peak usage.
If you're satisfied with your Cable Vision service, great! I have wasted countless hours on the phone with clueless support trying to resolve my OOL issues, and had to wait for truck rolls on three different occasions with no improvements on speed. Seems my "node" is saturated and too bad, we can't/won't fix it.
I have yet to contact Verizon for any problem over the past year. As far as the power consumption of the Fios ONT, it's about 15 watts. What powers your cable modem? Good intentions?
I have no love for either CV or VZ, but my experiance has been great with Fios and not so great with Cablevision.

Hey i am glad to see you got rid of OOL in this area because it sucks and so does Boost. I hope to get it soon and get rid of this HORRIBLE ISP. | |
