Re: Welcome former Bresnan now Optimum West customers From today's earnings call.
Jim Dolan: I'd like to address the recent press reports about our Optimum West business. As we have stated previously, we are confident in the prospects for growth at Optimum West and we are pleased with our progress to date. In recent weeks, a number of parties expressed their unsolicited interest in possibly acquiring Optimum West. While it's not been our intention to divest this valuable asset, based on the approaches that we received, we have decided to explore a potential transaction.

Word has it that CV might be looking for a buyer. God I hope not since we just got taken over by CV here.
I kinda wish they'd left things alone at the call center here, though. I have heard that it's been hell with all the policy changes.
As for the Cable, we are strictly Internet and Phone. We haven't really found a use for CATV lately due to all the excessive crap on.

I don't agree with CV's annual price hikes on TV but sadly it's how most cable companies operate. Atleast they're not hiking internet prices. |

Your letter said I was going to be charged more now for being a loyal customer for years with all three services. Not right not fair, loyal customers should get all the same prices as advertised on TV. |

To help a bit, I did create a posting radio button named "Bresnan".
Anyone in the Bresnan/Optimum West region should tag their threads with that button to keep things from getting too confused.
Welcome. |

Nice one smarta*s.  We'll see how often they'll need to utilize that thread. |

said by limegrass69:While I am sure Cablevision will look to profit from their acquisition of Bresnan, there is some history between the Dolan and Bresnan Families...so who knows. I heard that same thing between the families. I heard Bill Bresnan knew the CEO back in the '70s (or was it '80s).
I'm just glad Comcrap or TWC didn't take over. We'd be really screwed.

Well, that's obvious, but I'm talking about future expansion of course, not "lets expand right this second" kinda move. 
I'm curious to know, after the DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade occurs with their systems, and all tiers are matched with Optimum East, how will their earnings hold up - was it a financially escalated move, and so forth.

With CV acquiring Bresnan - and branding it as 'Optimum West' - I'm wondering if CV would expand their services further into the west territory, either by deploying their services to those in no-man's land (no basic broadband available, except SAT services), or even purchasing territories from current cable operators.
Just random thoughts...

If you went to the Optimum West site in my original post, you'd know they're only offering the original Boost (Boost Legacy) speeds of 30/5. Boost Plus or Ultra isn't offered out there yet.

Welcome!
Actually, you can call Cablevision and upgrade to BOOST+, a 50mbit/8mbit tier. OOL contracted with Hostway to deliver a free domain of your choice, free web hosting (don't quote me, I believe that the space is 1200 megs, and unlimited transfers, unlimited xfer, php and other perks, and last but not least you have the ability to open port 80 and/or 25, and run your own server which is completely legal on this tier.
Inquire about BOOST+ - you will need a DOCSIS 3 modem which Cablevision will provide free of chage, unless you already have one.
Good luck and once again, Welcome to our corner of paradise!

said by kickass69:Not sure if you want the Bresnan Online forum renamed to Optimum West and to stay over there along with just having Optimum techs from that territory to troubleshoot or to eliminate the Bresnan Online forum and just come here to the main Cablevision forum.
I believe the final decision lies with site admins, which could be brought to the »Forum Feature Requests board.

Yes, please rename the Bresnan forums optimum west. I think issue resolution will be a little easier if we keep the forums separate. |
