CableVision has a special for satelite customers although for loyal cable customers they continue to charge about $130 bucks a month for cable/premium channels/cable modem. Mean while, had i been a satelite customer, i could have taken advantage of 'triple-play' which would have gotten me cable/cable modem/voip for $100 bucks a month. because CableVision couldn't offer me anything I tried for Verizon DSL. That was a mess. The customer service support was not able to get it to work. Something about signal issues although that was the end of it. I just canceled and now use FIOS. FIOS is excellent for the price. it's cheaper than cable modem and faster. key detail is that it is a true alternative. even if dsl works it is definately slower than cable in my area. i'm up at new city, ny rockland county. just to clarify, cable vision service is fine although their pricing and approach to retaining customers is their achilies heal. had they just offered me the same promotion, i'd still be on their service. now, i can't wait for FIOS Video offering is available so i can drop cablevision all together. hopefully just another couple of months.

i'm @ rockland county/new city and ordered the cheapest fios service and works great. getting about 4.5mbit down and 700k up. speed ws never an issue for me. rather the sky rocketing cost of cable modem. cablevision was very stable and work great. what ticked me off is that i've been a customer of them for years now and i just received this triple play promotion which i am not eligible for. insulting. had i had satlelite, i could have had cable/cable modem/voip for 100/mo. their customer service couldn't comprehend how rediculous this was so i tried DSL and that was a mess. dsl was a mess and verizon was never able to get it to work. i'm glad that verizon has their act together and had the fios/fiber service up and running in a day. the only minor logistical detail/issue i had is around the scheduling of the resources for the install. they weren't very coordinated and didn't start till noon. while they finished by around 5pm, there was a big unknown if it would finish by end of day as they didn't get the crew to dig up the driveway until 3:30pm. i can't wait till their video offering is available. then i can drop cable vision all together.
