1 edit | Re: When Free means Fee! said by iansltx :Your DSL is slow. FiOS is 10/2 with a contract. OOL is $45 with no contract. Whether CV is faster or has free included WiFi is irrelevant to me, as I can't afford $540 per year for their service.
I don't want faster, I want cheaper. | |

| DSL Optimum online
Optimum online is 15/2 which beats 10/2. The difference is 2 dollars in price. When you are talking about bundling discounts it is cheaper for most people since they usually want cable TV service and voip. I don't recall people getting a bundling discount with Verizon if they chose voip over POTS. FIOS definately wins out in the higher speed tiers though. | |

| said by Mr Matt :  If Cablevision's Wi-Fi was truly free you would not have to be a Cablevision Broadband Subscriber to use their Wi-Fi Network. In this case you have to be paying for a Broadband Connection in order to use their Wi-Fi Network. Therefore there Wi-Fi Service is not free! They can make it an additional fee in addition to your OOL fee if you want. | |

| Re: When Free means Fee! said by dbmaven :Read, slowly.... Free WiFi access exclusively for Optimum Online customers in thousands of convenient locations.They never said: "Free to anyone". If you are a subscriber, and you don't pay anything 'extra', and you can access this WiFi network, then to you - it indeed is "FREE". It's not "free". It's "included". There's a difference. | |

They are adding Wi-Fi for THEIR customers at no extra cost. That = free to me. | |

| Re: When Free means Fee! I made the comment because of the title of the article: Cablevision Lights Up Free Wi-Fi A more accurate title would be "Cablevision lights up Wi-Fi access to subscribers at no charge." | |
