Seen all the hype and advertisements on home page last week. For another $9.95 a month.... NAH!!!  I don't think so. I've had Optimum Online/ Cablevision since it was first offered years ago and every time something is wrong with computer, TV or phone they say the problem is in my area (Northwestern Connecticut). So I'm not wasting anymore cash on something that they are apparently not gonna fix. My speeds are rarely what they advertise they are supposed to be. But are still faster than dial-up.

[amc11890]

what are the new upgrade speeds?

[sl33p3r]

Up to 30 Mbps downstream and up to 2 Mbps upstream

[Blunted 2]

At least I don't feel all alone with my speed problems!  WAY oversold where I am, I don't think boost is coming my way soon!

i have boost and i get 23 to 28 mb all the time and always get atleast 1700 upload if not more.

Wow my download speed suck and my upload is the worst and when I called optimum they said they "Capped" it from the network because it is a shared network. They said something about "Throttle" but wasnt paying attention. So my speed drops when they cap it but it I call 4 more times they will send the case to a security team and then from there they will decide wether or not to terminate my service. Since I am always uploading they said they had to cap it, So Blunted is verylucky to have those speeds

[Blunted 2]

maybe i am but i asked them about that and they said on boost its harder to get capped and if i get capped once i will get the business plan which isnt alot more

[JKO]

And how much more is the business plan?

[Blunted 2]

i think its $80 a monh maybe a bit more.

[JKO]

If I do I better NOT get capped cuz its ridiculous that I am paying for a service that should'nt limit my speed

my area (north jersey) they say should be upgraded the first 1/4 of 06... right now this is what im getting on the Dallas Server

I want to try to continue what I have for the $29.95 price, going to use the " Verizon just offered me a great deal" line, and see where I end up. I'll reply back when it all plays out.
