I am From the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx. Around January 19 2002, it was decided I was going to get Optimum Online. I went to the Wiz in Co-op city, went up to the Optimum Online counter, and within 45 mins, i was out with everything I needed. I came home, and hooked everything and was online quickly. With a little tweaking, I get up to 8 Mbits down, and on average 1Mbit up. On Mac OS X which I discovered later, I could even get these speeds with no tweaking necessary. Optimum Online is a very strange service. You love the speed and you know its better than everything else but you get pissed off at Cablevision anyway. The Mail isnt that great, the Newsgroups just plain suck, and you have to constantly cap your upload or cablevision will do it for you.
Even with these bad sides, it is still the best out there...
