Re: It's not free
said by Bobcat  :It's included in Cablevision's high rates. Same rates for Verizon FIOS. No difference in cost. So I don't think the rates are high, just what the market is willing to pay. Referencing »www22.verizon.com/content/consum···ices.htm the price seems to fall between the 2 FIOS tiers which are slightly lower and higher in speeds.

Bedminster, NJ | You may not think Cablevision's rates are high, but I can't afford $45 per month for Internet service. CV's crappy TV service is $50 per month, and that's too high, too. |

| The message conveyed in your email was their specific prices were too high. Their prices seem in line with what I pay for the similar service from a comparable corporation in the same market. So their prices are no higher or lower then their competition. So it's like saying Shell's gas prices are too high when they are the same as Exxon's, Gulf's etc. More appropriately, "gas prices are too high".
But I concur that "included" is more accurate then "free" but that is marketing and not reality.

Bedminster, NJ | I stand by my statement that Cablevision's rates are high.
If you want to say that Verizon FiOS rates are equally high, that's fine by me.
But I stand by my statement that Cablevision's rates are high. |
