No, Bullshit is what an idiot does when he doesn't know what he's talking about, but still shoots straight from the mouth, bypassing brain. You could have been more polite and I might not have such low regard.

I am a Triple-Play customer of Optimum for several years and a long time customer of Cablevision before. That means for the unwashed that I have full telephone service, Optonline with Boost and full iO television including a DVR.

As a long time customer, I get the privilege of paying more per month than do the new signups who pay 29.99 for each of the three services. Add boost to that and a DVR You have just passed the promotional first tier price you get for a year to more than $100. I pay $211 a month. When I works right, it's good and its better on the cost of telephone service.

Cablevision doesn't go out of its way to mention that the price roughly doubles after the first year. It's actually a bit worse because the price increases usually apply only to veteran customers. As far as it goes, they're pretty good, much better than the days when I switched to satellite and happily dropped off their boxes. Fwiw, it's still better than cable plus tel from the bell people.

I'm with cable because Verizon (or whoever took over SNET) was doing what the cable guy usually does, choked my dial service (that far back) and afer a couple of years of okay service throttled it down from 56k to 14400 and said it met their tarriff.

But like I said, you don't know what you're talking about.

Your review was for OPTIMUM ONLINE. You do NOT pay $205 per month for OOL.

OOL =/= iO =/= OV

Stop being a jerk and stop posting silly flames. You've crossed over the line into personal harassment with your simple minded idiocy. I get a single bill for Optimum services. If your bill is smaller, good for you and get lost.

the triple play, as a premium product, is priced as a package and the price includes all three. You do not peel out something for an idiot who has some kind of personal fixation I don't intend to pander to. FIOS is selling its product as a unified package.

Verison and Cablevision understand what they're doing. That you don't is your problem. The three services are related and it's not all that unlikely you can lose two or all three at once.

No one misunderstands this in the context of the review. The package as a whole is important to me. If it's not to you, then just get up and walk somewhere else. I'm not interested in anything you have to say. Stop. Cease. Desist. Get Lost. Find somewhere else to sputter.
