Optimum Online Updates Wi-Fi Finder App
Launches New Ad Campaign to Promote Wi-Fi Network
Cablevision today announced that the company has released a new app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch customers that makes it easier for them to find and access Cablevision's growing number of Wi-Fi hotspots. The company free access (to paying Cablevision subscribers) to the company's 35,000 hotspots scattered around the New York metro area, each of which ideally offers speeds around 15 Mbps downstream and 4 Mbps upstream. The company has also launched a new ad campaign featuring "HotSpot the Dog" intended to drum up attention for the feature. The hotspot functionality is intended to help counter the competitive threat posed by Verizon FiOS, though Cablevision so far is mum on how or whether they will combat Verizon's latest round of speed (and price) hikes.
