| capacity issues still loom @ 30/5? It is doubtful cablevision is upgrading the outside plant to give boost customers the REAL 30/5 bandwidth they are paying the extra "boost fee" for (to avoid or risk losing customers to FIOS). The real incentive to do *something* because more areas of NYC and Long Island (cablevision's backyard) become installable for FIOS.
Verizon has reallocated money siphoned off to Atlantic states such as Virginia deployments back to NY metro and is completing (95-99% coverage)the Long Island area closer to the projected schedule of 5 years..
Keep in mind, it is QUITE POSSIBLE what cablevision is doing is NOT in actuality running more fiber, as it is reallocating the CAPPED bandwidth from the 15/2 @ 29.95 subscribers to the 30/5 *boost* subscribers who pay more... Very dubious that cablevision would add more outside plant fiber in overloaded nodes. Probably more of maximizing revenue, while this will irk some 15/2 @29.95 triple play subscribers to move to FIOS and get off the bandwidth caps.. ultimately it will force cablevision to do away with the caps.. at either speed. Cablevision is notorious for burning the candle at both sides when it comes to upgrading it's outside plant.. mainly it is smoke and mirrors.. I've yet to see (and you bbr readers can confirm this) that no NEW outside node fiber is being upgraded/built to accommodate 30/5, any gains in node unburdening is coming at FIOS customer subscription & FAP'ing (fair access policy, aka capping 15/2) rates rather than construction of NEW outside plant. |

| Of course,
Blunted is part of a very SMALL vocal minority with intermittent slow speed issues. He has gotten to be such a prick about it that most forum people including probably CV just want him to cancel and go xo himself.
Cablevision is just starting to get into high gear in regards to the limits of Docsis 2.0. What other Cable provider in the USA is doing this? Not to mention these are all UNANNOUNCED updates that are not fully rolled out. Now that they have reached the upper limits of the vendor supplied equipment, they can begin to optimize the network for neighborhoods. Some people just can not appreciate that even when you drive the latest Mercedes Benz/BMW, sometimes it will leave you broken down on the highway.
In Blunted's case, he has already received credit for the Boost service since it wasnt working up to par. He only gets 15/2 so instead of him just riding the credits out until they get their act together. He comes onthe forum's to b$itch and moan. IS there a way to put people on ignore? |

said by Eebobb:But Boost sucks so i doubt they gave it anything. Dude, we heard you the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth time you posted the same tired "Boost sucks" in this thread. I understand all too well about complaining when things aren't working right, you know that. You also know I'm on your side, but this is just not a productive way to go about it. The people who would be swayed by your negative assessment of OOL BOOST surely don't need things repeated to them ad nauseum. Why not hit the reply when you actually have something to say other than "Boost sucks." ..... I mean really...
What I'm really trying to say is, yes, everyone knows, and some of us are sympathetic to your plight... However, BOOST is not a service with SLAs. You know that, and you also know that the same speed with an SLA would cost you thousands of dollars a month.
I fail to comprehend why you continue to pay for BOOST even though it isn't performing much better than standard OOL. Why not save the 15 bucks a month?
I hope you get your money's worth like everyone else, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and go with another provider or another tier... Especially when a more expensive tier isn't performing as well as one would expect... Why the heck give them more money in this case? I don't get it..
