Cablevision: 101Mbps For $99.95 → 100 mbps for $100..now that's more reasonable pricing!

I knew that one of the telco or cable co's would eventually be rolling out 100 mbps service, but I didn't quite expect it this early. However, the big surprise is the price. Many of the big ISPs have half that bandwidth for roughly $40 more.

The upload side is a bit weak though. I'd at least like to see that at 25 mbps as a minimum for DOCSIS 3.0.

Verizon, what's your response to this? Finally roll out that 100 mbps tier with maybe 50 mbps upload for the same price? Then maybe lower the rest of your tiers to be proportional? Now that'd be the impressive..if only it could be made a reality!

In the meantime, congrats to Cablevision for breaking the norm and giving more reasonable pricing for performance.

I agree. $99 is more like it. The rumours of higher prices ($250+) turned me off immediately. I'm just not going to pay that much for my connection.

That said, I just resolved my Boost issues last night w/ CV to great success. If CV can provide what they claim, they'll have some really good ammo against Fios in this market.

If anything, it's nice to see CV setting the bar for cable operators, especially in the wake of Time Warner's BS.

Since the 50/20 cost me $95 and I'm currently on the 20/20 I will hope FiOS will roll out their 100Mbit tier also for lower than $100 and then drop other prices in NYC

That is correct...
comcast 50/10 are 139.95 ripoff boo!
verizon 50/20 are 139.95 ripoff boo!
surewest 50/50 are 191.99 total ripoff
surewest 20/20 are 91.99 total jackshitbad!
ok.. maybe not great but too expensive still
50/10-20 for 49.99 would make practical sense
50/50 for 59.95 would be just right ^_^
10/10 for 53.99 total ripoff by surewest even thought I gave them good review it is very expensive
It should be more like 19.95
100/15 for 99.95 is a bargain!

I have an easy solution for verizon
100/20 for 89.95
50/50 for 99.95
Cable Vision lose again!
LMAO!
