said by Attack Gypsy  :They get the basics. TV (Gold package) , Internet (15/2 tier), and Phone, for free. Anything above that they pay for. They pay for PPV, the 30/5 tier, 2 phone line, as well as boxes and taxes on the account. I had 3 boxes, 1 a DVR, the 30/5 tier, and the basics, and paid about 40 some off bucks a month. Someone in my family worked for clearview for a while and he got 2 boxes for free, io gold, playboy, optimum online and optimum voice. No taxes, no franchise fees, or anything were paid. The bill was $0. The boxes would not work with VOD... the free stuff would not work and interactive channels would not work. But everything was free. | |

said by Jmartz :Maiella doesn't care that it's below the rate of inflation... considering he gets all three services for FREE. As a matter of fact, nobody at Cablevision pays for their cable... not even people who work for Clearview.. it's a free ride all around for everyone. I used to work for CV. That statement is not quite true.

Please note, this is an industry standard benefit. Many of these companies offer it as a benefit. It's an employee retainer that really doesn't cost them anything.
Not quite a free ride. More like a highly discounted one. Now I'm paying almost 200 bucks a month for what I had. So, about 20%. | |
