Cablevision

Pros: Good value for three services.
Cons: telephone service doesn't work if there's a blackout.

When I first signed up for Cablevision here on Long Island many years ago it was for television reception. No more using the antenna on my roof. The Cablevision company brought a direct cable line from the telephone pole in front of my house and brought ...

Pros: Is the only option in some areas still.
Cons: Horrible service, constantly out, high bills, bad quality picture.

I haven't suscribed to Cablevision for about a year now, and I hear they were recently bought out by one of the bigger cable companies, well hallelujah! Cablevision was the cause of so many headaches for me for so many years. Once they upped the bill...

Pros: Clear picture; good sound; friendly customer service
Cons: slightly overpriced and the only option in some areas

The Company Cablevision is one of the country's best cable and telecommunication companies. I have seen quite a few reviews badmouthing Cablevision for their "limited" programming and high prices. While it IS true that Cablevision's services a ...

Pros: Lots of options/learning channels/pay per view
Cons: They sneak stuff into your bill

Ok...I am going to confess. I seldom read my utility bill's before paying them. I vigorously review my credit card statements but have always just glanced at my utility statements and then cut a check. Paying bills is my least favorite chore and each...

Pros: are there any? well, maybe a few.
Cons: See laundry list and details!

The problems with Cablevision can be broken into three main categories: cost, inconvenience, and service.

Cost: it's expensive and it's the only game in town. 'nuff said.

Inconvenience: "Hi, we'll be there sometime between 8am and...

Pros: none specific to iO
Cons: It's really an alpha release, and is overpriced.

This review is specifically about iO, Cablevision's digital television service. The half-hearted decision to switch from regular Cablevision to iO was not entirely voluntary--I had received notice from Cablevision that HBO would soon be a digital-only ...

Pros: I get a picture on my TV!
Cons: The picture I get is blurry and the cost is too much!

Like many others, I am a victim of Cablevision - in my case, Star Cable. I have found that, to get a decent picture on my TV, I have to subscribe to cable T.V. When I started subscribing about twelve years ago, it cost me around $11 a month for basic...

Pros: NONE!
Cons: The list is so long, I don't know where to begin.

Granted, few people have anything good to say about cable companies in general, but this one takes the cake. Having had Time Warner before this, I only 'thought' I understood just what a rip-off can be when it comes to cable service. I wasn't in love ...

Pros: not much
Cons: customer service, value, picture quality

I don't know where to start. Cablevision is a disgusting monopoly bent on placing the customer in his or her place... or at least the place where Cablevision feels the customer should be.

I subscribe to basic cable through Cablevision of...

Pros: Dish has more costly channel options but easier navigation - cable includes local stations in the basic price but is generally more expensive in cost
Cons: An antenna still works if you don't want to pay monthly for broadcast entertainment

In my area of the country, the price of cable TV is 35% more than satellite dish TV, at least for the basic channels. Seems the prices for satellite and cable have switched positions in recent years as cable used to be cheaper than dish. So which one...

Pros: what's good about communism?
Cons: everything, but they're the only option

Think America stands for freedom of choice? Not when it comes to cable TV where we live in the Bronx. Our only choice is Cablevision, and we were too fearful of interference to try a satellite.

Cablevision missed their first appointment to...

Pros: Reliable
Cons: Only game in town, horrible customer service

Living in the most densely populated area of the country would lead one to believe that there would be a decent selection of choices when it comes to home entertainment. Well, that certainly isn't the case here in northern NJ... we have CABLEVISION!!!!...

Pros: Excellent products, packages, and service.
Cons: Service Interruptions do occur, dropped channels, rebooting is necessary.

Cablevision has evolved from a startup cable company from wired remote and basic cable service to infrared control and customizable packages including a family package. This modern cable company has services with more premium channels like the Starz ...

Pros: None
Cons: High Cable Rates

Cable in general has gone the way of Bell Telephone years ago. There is now a monopoly on cable, and basically no home can be without it. Of course we can all revert back to the days where you had to install an antenna on top of your house (so...

Pros: technical service
Cons: price, severe breaks

I hope all cable tv suppliers aren't like Cablevision. If I had the choice between suppliers , I certainly would not pick Cablevision. The price we all have to pay for this service is outragious. they have done nothing but to continue to increase...
