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.
Cablevision was bought out in most areas. 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.

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.

Weird, it was the same logo.
