IT depends on which cable company. Isnt cablevision spending something like only 300 million to deploy docsis 3 and wifi?
Sorry got the figure wrong. |

| YuP! Definitely Cablevision isn't the bad cable provider. They offer great speeds, a good rate and alots to offer. If only Cablevision were to expand, they would definitely steal all of TWC and Comcast customers  One can only hope. |

We used to be Cablevision back in the mid-late 80's here. Time Warner bought them.
What I think is interesting, is the belief that it's easier to deploy to a smaller geographic area. Cablevision could be considered proof of that. |

Cablevision also owns Lightpath, a CLEC who - in limited markets - runs fiber to the prem for businesses.
I think it would be easier for Cablevision switch over to a 100% fiber network when the time comes. |

I think that is a flawed analysis. Cablevision has an easier time deploying because they are literally in the best cable market possible. Its dense continuous suburbs(dense enough that a lot of people I meet at school who are not from major cities consider it urban) but single family housing at the same time. Easy to deploy, and the areas almost uniformly wealthy.
Anyway, I have to disagree with the initial comment in this thread anyway. I agree that Cablevision isn't a bad cable internet provider. They are terrible with TV IMO. They are as slow if not slower than the big guys in deploying HD, and they cram 4 HD channels in one QAM. |

It wasn't the same Cablevision. The Cablevision from New York only had a system in Ohio for a while, because one of the Dolans lives out there.
Lightpath isn't limited to certain markets, they do have a statewide francise in New Jersey. The only limit is how close the customer is to their fiber. |
