10/2012 it is so much better. It just works.

I have now had OptimumVoice for about 4 months. It really started off strong, not a problem at all the first 2 months. Then I started getting all circuits are busy and so did people calling me. Then the outages started. I have had 4 major outages this month including Friday night for 4.5 hours and tonight it has has one way calling all night for about 4 hours so far. My brother has Vonage I should have listened to him.

UPDATE****************

My phone was out for about 17 hours and I just called Cv Cunstomer service and they would only give me a 5% discount. that is $1.75. VONAGE HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Optimum Voice ? More like Optimum Mute

Cablevision/OOL sucks incase you never knew that. I was a customer and their techs treated me like a beginner even when I stated to them I did all the troubleshooting steps and that I was MCSE certified. On top of that, they would have outages on and off for no reason and also transfering ISOs or anything big is a no no with this ISP. I run a FTP server and a Newsgroup server with Speakeasy and not once did Speakeasy complain. Perhaps Speakeasy should offer 'phone' services .

Re: Optimum Voice ? More like Optimum Mute

Yeah I agree, Optimum sucks BIG TIME!!! I had them for 5 years and I finally got tired of the rate hikes and them telling what I could and could not do with my modem... So I switched to Speakeasy and it was the best move I ever made...I'm also running an FTP server and this last month alone I've uploaded 100GB's and didn't get a single complaint....

"My phone was out for about 17 hours and I just called Cv Cunstomer service and they would only give me a 5% discount. that is $1.75. VONAGE HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You were out for less than 24 hours and you want more credit than that? Look at how much you PAY for the service and then divide that by the amount of days in a month. $1.75 is actually MORE than a full day.
Why do people always want more than they deserve?
