OptimumOnline → Re: Capped and Convicted.....

I agree..

OOL SUCKS.. but its the best there is. What can we do?

They dont give a crap. They know they're screwing their customers. Cablevision never gave a dam about their customers.

There are no consumer rights apparently. The no contract thing gives them a blank contract to do whatever they dam well please.

OOL, its broadband, but we cant use it for broadband purposes.

I hate all of the OOL supporters who say "well if you dont like it leave"... Because it doesnt change the dam fact that they're limiting the users usage. Who knows what i want to do tomorrow with my broadband that i pay for. MAYBE there will be some insane Videophone gaming voice com thing and we'll want to all use it when we play Doom 3.

Who knows. OOL shouldnt be limiting anyones amount of time they spend uploading. I'm sure they dont limit BOOL... so this is an obvious F U to all of us who paid for years before BOOL existed.

IF ALL WE CAN DO.. is BROWSE AND READ EMAIL... I could probably spend less else where and get the same usability rights. Perhaps more.

The problem is OOL provides good bandwidth for downloads atleast. So they've hooked us.

Frankly i'd rather spend 70 a month for bool, but if they pulled this BS on bool users, they would have a huge lawsuit.

BOOL's been around the entire time. You just didn't know about it. And blame the people who abused the bandwidth all these years for the caps.

Nothing so why don't you just give it a rest!

Well I just bought BBOL for my office and its not 70.00. Its 112.00 that includes basic cable. Its the same price if you take basic or not. If u turn down basic they just jack your BOOL to 112.00 and tell you take the basic cable cause we cant block the tv signal and that includes taxes. But lets see if I get a cap now. I got a cap on my home account because I was working from home. My Bool is not in my home but office. My server will be online next week. And for all you OOL people that would sell your soul for them relax this server is for clients use not some ftp of bootleg movies. I will be moving about 3-6 gigs a day if I get capped it will be interesting to hear what they say.

Braz, I fu get capped then it will be official that CV sux ass. If u have a business and u need to have BOOL and u have to transfer a lot of files or whatever for your business and they cap u for that, BOYCOTT CV for being a$$h@le$. It defeats the whole purpose of paying extra for the same speeds.

I was going to get BOOL I had a rep coming to the office to sign me up.
I currently pay for 2 cable modems...I got capped.
I work with databases HUGE files that I send back and forth to work and home to get work done on weekends and stuff.
Well, I was going to go for the BOOL to avoid any problems but, the Rep told me today that I would get capped anyway and that I should just try to break up my uploads a bit so that they aren't all at once.
Well, if I am will to pay $100 for BOOL then I shouldn't have to worry about getting capped.
The damn REP told me that I should stay with the 2 modems and try to avoid getting cought; she seemed annoyed with the entire thing.
Not too many Techs AT CV are happy with this capping sh*t either.
I am telling you all, I have a freind that works there and he is getting grief for trying to find out more info to tell to him customers that are ready to kill him.

STOP siding with CV you are pissing people off. If someone is having a problem with service, it is only becuase CV didn't properly configure that region or you just have crap wires in your house. I have 2 drops from the pole straight to my modems and I peg both at 9999 on the speed check on optonline.net speedcheck site. AT THE SAME TIME!

This is an article that might help those that are just mentally incapable of understanding the fact that CV is in the wrong.

I agree totally, they r playing us for fools. Give us 115KB/sec on uploads, and take it away if u dare to use it. Too bad DSL service sux where I am, I would make the move right now to get it over this garbage. Grant Verizon DSL is horribly slow, but the e-mail always worked and I can upload for years w/o hearing a peep from them.
