Re: Typical...
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 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.
