That's for each services base package straight from their website.
Per the WSJ article I linked, no that are not price matching when it comes to triple play. And it is the reason they lost video, internet and phone subs:
"Cablevision chalked up the decline to a $70-a-month triple-play offer by FiOS. Cablevision, by contrast, has opted to hold the line on pricing. Average revenue per user was higher than expected in the quarter thanks to that discipline and recent broadband and video price increases. Operating margins rose smartly from a year earlier."
From Zacks.com, »
www.zacks.com/stock/news ··· her-arpu"In the reported quarter, the company lost 28,000 video subscribers, 9,000 high-speed data subscribers and 7,000 voice subscribers."
IMO they better start competing on price or they will continue to bleed customers, unless they want higher profit margins with less subs. Considering Wilt says they are not responding speed wise at the moment, they may want to start on price, especially on the triple play.
