    May 2008:
    Got OV, ported one copper number to OV, Cablevision gave me Triple Play. Installation went without a hitch. Tech found issue in feed to house from box and reran feed. Cablevision came a few days later to bury the cable. Netting everything together saving about $30/month.

    Speeds have been great, service has been great.

    Prior review:

    In the area I live OOL is the exclusive provider. So it's a good thing the service is great. The account has Boost for $10/month. Policies recently have changed to uncap downloads. Rumor mill has it uploads might be increased to 10mb. That's more upload bandwidth than I was getting when I ordered OOL 7 years ago.

    At my current location I had OOL come out for service visits twice. Both visits were handled professionally, with the techs doing exactly what we asked. I've been to the walk-in centers a number of times for different reasons, they sales staff was courteous and handled the requests quickly.

    I've never had a problem with tech support, and have used them a few times. They were always willing to help and were very courteous.

    Biggest complaint is with the telephone routing system, thank goodness I don't need to use it often.

    Bottom line: TV and internet cost $195/month with gold package, Boost, 2 non DVR converters and 2 DVR converters. A bit pricey, but we are satisified with the service.

    routing

    I work for OOL.

    Yeah, the techs hate the routing system too. We hate having to say "I'm sorry, we don't have a direct number. Call your local Cablevision office number." I say that 20 times a day.

    Here's a hint. Got Optimum Voice? Dial 611. That takes you right to tech support. Bypasses all of the phone routing stuff. We have to have that there by law.

    Re: routing

    That may have to be the impetus to get OV!
