OptimumOnline → Re: [OOL] OOL Boost performance decrease when connected to route

I really don't memorize the TOS for the previous six years since I've had OOL so maybe I'm wrong about that but cablevision was very clear that they provided no tech support with a router hooked up to the modem and you needed to directly connect a computer before they would provide support. In fact, this is a major reason routers today have MAC spoofing so you could fool your cable modem into thinking it's hooked up to the primary account computer.

It's one thing to question my statement as some have but personally I think it's obvious that anyone who actually goes back and researches previous TOS agreements from cablevision simply to counter my post either has absolutely no life or they work for cablevision (directly or indirectly). I'd have more respect for these guys if they simply admitted why they are so hot for a particular ISP. There's only one company that I might lose sleep over taking a public relations slap and that's the company that signs my paycheck.

Obviously all this has changed so the entire argument is irrelevant except for those who have late night fantasies about Dolan or get a paycheck from him (includes all those who appear to take this personally).

I never stated that cablevision capped accounts using routers and I really didn't want to discuss it. I'd prefer to keep this and other threads on topic.

All the talk about losing a little speed with a router isn't necessarily relevant either IMO. It's fun to run speed tests on your ISP but how may web, FTP, torrent, or any other sites actually are going to provide you with a direct speed that even comes close to OOL's advertised speed.

What I mean is....if you are getting 12.0 mbps dl with the router hooked up vs. maybe 20.0 mbps dl without the router, are you even going to notice any speed difference when downloading a large file or a Windows update? I've never tested it but my guess is the results would be the same. Maybe if you hooked up many computers and tried to dl at the same time you might see a difference but for the average home user with maybe three or four PCs a slower router is still sufficient.

Again....for the sake of sane people everywhere, drop the crying everytime someone mentions the word "cap."

I have no life? It probably took me less time to look on archive.org and find the oldest TOS then it did for you to type your entire post telling me I have no life.

So now you are accusing folks here of being paid by CV again. No one here I know that posts in this forum works for CV or gets one time for them. I can scan by bills and you can see how much I paid them each month. Do I work for Verizon too because I post in that forum? I can show you my $300+ Verizon bill too.

I think every one of us that you think works for CV has told you why we post and that is because if we didn't inaccurate and misleading information would remain posted without any response and that would hurt consumers coming here for information/support. If you used DSLR as a tool in doing research on an ISP, wouldn't you want the most accurate information available? If it was just kids like batterup posting nonsense without anyone challenging his lies, you'd tend to see it as truth since it wasn't challenged.

It's no different then when you posted information about being on Boost and being capped. You were challenged to provide proof, which because you no longer had the service, you couldn't provide.

No one is looking for your respect. Folks here are looking for accurate information, positive, negative or neutral. Anything else will be challenged, as it should be.

Funny because I wasn't actually talking about you this time but I think the fact that you thought I was says something.
