Re: Not quite
said by xirian  :isnt the first one included on the tripple play offer or something like that? Hmmm, that would certainly be misleading if they didn't include the first box.
Hopefully someone getting the triple play chimes in.

| 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

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.

I have the triple play package with two digital cable boxes. I am charged $8.68 a month for two boxes ($4.07 each plus $0.27 a month for each remote). Maybe I am just getting screwed but as far as I can tell you are charged for each and every box you have. |

Hopefully someone getting the triple play chimes in. They do charge you for the first box - it is NOT included. And they even charge you for the remote. |
