quote:
"Cablevision reserves the right to protect the integrity of its network and resources by any means it deems appropriate. This includes but is not limited to: port blocking, e-mail virus scanning, denying e-mail from certain domains, and putting limits on bandwidth and e-mail."
Basicly, like a lot of cable ISP TOS's, they're telling the customer that it's their network and they can do anything they want at their sole discression.  |

| I agree that the front page says it all. They have definatly screwed the goat on this one, and their is only one way to redeem itself. Remove the caps, and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, OOL will become old news, kinda like toilet paper flushed down the toilet.
I checked out most of the reviews, and they all look legit, people who have registered for over a year, etc.. well God Speed to those people who are forced to switch accounts. I hope someone has taken the time to call their corporate center to bitch at them. I know I would give them an ear full, heck, I don't even use them and im motivated to tell them where they can stick it.
Good Luck |

Noticed that too and figured it was only a matter of time before it was a news item on DSLR.
However the amount people are being throttled should eventually be seen in the archive which so far isn't showing a significant impact from throttling.

While true, wouldn't it be nice if the ISP's made things clear to their subscribers before pushing new controls in place. I have always been a "raving fan" when it comes to OOL, I'm not too sure I still feel the same of late.
I will likely look at FiOS when it arrives in town.

You're 100% right technick. I've been an Optimum Online member since December of 1999, and have enjoyed amazing uptime, amazing speeds, and overall - minus a few annoyances which are in reality far fewer than other ISPs - great service since 1999. We're talking almost 5 years of solid service. I don't think those 5 years I've had downtime that equals 24hrs.
However, with horrible customer service regarding Usenet throttling, port blocking, capping, and now total bandwith throttling to 1/3 my max, that has sent me over the edge.
DNS problems of late have also plagued users on the system.
Fortunately, FIOS is being deployed and has been turned on in my town, so it's off to Verizon I go.
Honestly, Cablevision---thank you very much for 4.5 years of outstanding service at an affordable price. However, the time has come for us to part. |

You can see why they don't want to publish their caps, when you look at some who do, and realize that a 28.8K modem would give you more throughput in a month.
»www.cox.com/lasvegas/highspeedin···cing.asp
(middle tier, $40/month + $10/month modem rental + $10/month non-TV subscriber or + $(tv price)/month)
»www.cox.com/lasvegas/highspeedin···rred.asp
7.5 GB/month is less then 24 kbit/sec
»www.google.com/search?q=7.5+GB%2···n+kb%2Fs
Thats less then 5 hours of using your highspeed internet connection, and you're done for the month! |

You honestly think that Verizon won't do the same?
Once enough ppl jumped ship, and start using so much bandwidth, they'd do the same thing.

| No, anyone is capable of it.
However, many poeple - including myself - have a strong distaste for Cablevision that has gone back 10, 15 years. They're a rather incidious bunch of corporate people that really can't run a company well, as proven by recent events both related to their service, but more specifically, the general well-being of their company and its financial endeavors.
Not to mention the current power struggle between father and son.
The sooner I have a viable option/competition to their product is when I change. FIOS is here, and that time is now. |

That already happened. Read the Verizon forum for info on the January NYC slowdown after they released their 3000/768 package.
A month later, 99% of it was fixed.
No caps, no bullcrap. DSL > Cable

Yeah, wow, I see Cox really Sox! What a joke!!! Maybe this is the norm in Las Vegas since everyone is such a gambler!
That's a real joke--what world are these dudes living in? 1.7 GB limit on a $30/mo connection, 7.5 GB for a $50 account? Who needs high-speed, like you say, just use a freaking dialup modem and run it 24/7 like the good ol' times.
I can only guess that people who live in Las Vegas don't really use the internet much--they are too busy losing their fortunes in the casinos!!!

| I've got some friends in Vegas. They don't gamble at all. Its more fun to go hiking in the moutains out there I think. I set them up with Sprint "FastConnect" which isn't really great compared to what SBC offers out here in Michigan. Its more expensive and much slower, and they only got a really crappy DSL modem that has a maximum of 1 DHCP address it can give out, forcing you to get something different if you have two computers. |
