Re: It's not freesaid by Bobcat79:It's included in Cablevision's high rates. What is CV charging for bundled Optimum Online, these days. I'm not talking about the triple play for the yearly promotional pricing. I mean after that promotional period is over, how much is non-Boost Optimum Online? It's been 3 or 4 years since I had CV, but this free wifi they provide is kind of a nice perk. It popped up as an available wireless network a week or two ago near me. | |

said by Bobcat79:It's included in Cablevision's high rates. Same rates for Verizon FIOS. No difference in cost. So I don't think the rates are high, just what the market is willing to pay. Referencing » www22.verizon.com/conten ··· ices.htm the price seems to fall between the 2 FIOS tiers which are slightly lower and higher in speeds. | |

Re: It's not freeYou may not think Cablevision's rates are high, but I can't afford $45 per month for Internet service. CV's crappy TV service is $50 per month, and that's too high, too. | |

Re: It's not freeThe message conveyed in your email was their specific prices were too high. Their prices seem in line with what I pay for the similar service from a comparable corporation in the same market. So their prices are no higher or lower then their competition. So it's like saying Shell's gas prices are too high when they are the same as Exxon's, Gulf's etc. More appropriately, "gas prices are too high".
But I concur that "included" is more accurate then "free" but that is marketing and not reality. | |

Verizon's DSL prices are 3x the price of NetZero dialup.
Please compare like to like for services if you're comparing prices. | |

Re: It's not freeI stand by my statement that Cablevision's rates are high.
If you want to say that Verizon FiOS rates are equally high, that's fine by me.
But I stand by my statement that Cablevision's rates are high. | |

No signalAccording to their map my block is covered but I can't pick it up on my iPhone nor my macbook when I'm outside yet. | |
|
| |
Re: No signalThat probably means they installed the access point but havent activated it yet. | |

finally fixed the siteAreas of CT have had the wifi for months now, some since the initial announcement and were listed on the pre-google maps page.
Then they redid the website of the wifi service to look be beta-ish, and removed all non Nassau/Suffolk wifi coverage on their map. They finally corrected that mistake. | |

Metro Northern NJ...Always at the Tail End......of every deployment from whomever it may come from, we might see this deployment by 2012, but according to most of the world's religions and philosophies that's the year when the planet goes to pots, what else is new? | |

Maybe not-about the deployment. it seems they sprung the Bronx/Westchester rollout all at once. NJ already have WiFi spots in Bergen and Morris Counties, perhaps they're quietly adding nodes across those areas-including Paterson and Newark. | |
