Pros: Many channels
Cons: Overpriced, not digital, lots of hidden fees
I have been a cablevision customer for years now. When I moved in with two roommates two years ago they already had IO and we split the $140+ bill three way so it was not too bad. We had four IO boxes. Installation: CHEAP!! They use cheap cables, ...

Pros: Picture quality, sound, channels.
Cons: Inconvenience, tyranny, exorbitant prices, the list goes on.

Pros: It's good when it works
Cons: Exorbitant installation fees for things that are clearly user installable.
I recently contacted Cablevision to request an HDTV DVR set-top box. Cablevision explained that you have to pay $28 for installation. They say that professional installation is required. The last time I had a Cablevision technician in my house I had ...

Pros: A lot of money for a TV picture.
Cons: Inadequately trained personnel especially the road techs. Lack of communication between cust. serv. & techs.
I recently wrote a review at www.complaints.com regarding just some of my experiences with Cablevision. I'd like to share some of those thoughts here: Cablevision - NY/NJ Metro Area There is no question that customers are treated differently ...

Pros: The Optimum Online part of Cablevision is decent.
Cons: Many: High prices, bad customer service, poor video signal, etc.
I always heard how bad Cablevision was, but it wasn't until I experienced it myself that I fully understood it.
I am going to just copy and paste a letter I sent to several people in Cablevision. I edited the letter to make it more readable...

Pros: it works
Cons: less customer oriented than any other business
I see that the negative opinions about Cablevision greatly outnumber the few positive comments, and we're talking about a near monopoly which is now not regulated by anyone as far as I can see, so continuing to highlight their many faults seems a little...

Pros: Good Digital Channel Selection
Cons: Expensive, (Really) Bad Customer Service, Poor Analog Channel Selction
Cablevision, the company everyone loves to hate. Unfortunatly they are our only choice in Scarsdale, NY (sattilite, of course if availible but we have a small problem with trees). Cablevision does however, have a very good cable internet service...

Pros: Good reception
Cons: Customer Service
Virtually everyone on Long Island is serviced by Cablevision when it comes to Cable Television. It's terribly expensive, yet there is no other alternative. Talk about a monopoly.
The channels are so annoying, as they change at least once a...

Pros: good picture quality (4/29/05 picture quality varied - see letter.)
Cons: uneven audio quality, hopeless customer service (4/29/05 audio problems and customer service STILL hopeless!)
I have been a Cablevision of CT subscriber for 13 years. I have had Playboy TV for that long. When it first came on picture quality was terrible, there was always a haze. Now that Cablevision uses fiber optic the picture quality has improved on all ...

Pros: CLEAR RECEPTION WHEN ON
Cons: BREAK IN SERVICE - OFTEN
Cablevision television programming does produce great tv reception. That is unless there is a wind and rain storm. More often that not, a hard rain or wind storm will disrupt tv reception in our location. And, then to try and report your break in...

Pros: if its clear good shows
Cons: bad customer service
You would think that a big company like cablevision would like its customers happy right? Wrong. Cablevision took over for another company about years ago. Not a day as gone by since then that I have not had a problem. There is never a day that all the...

Pros: Scramble-vision
Cons: High prices, Channel selection is for the birds
Lemme tell you what I think of Cablevision. It sucks. Unfortunately the residents of Long Island do not have another option when it comes to cable television. Its what people in the corporate world would call a monopoly. No matter how dissatisfied...

Pros: Convenience
Cons: No cable modems, no plans for them
I've got their basic service, and they just increased the price, again. If they offered broad-band, I would pay for it. But they don't. And they have no plans to do so in my area in the near future. It's just an expensive monopoly. But how can you...

Pros: Tell the cable company where to go....
Cons: Lack of customer service
Have you ever waited for the cable guy all day long only to have them cancel and reschedule for sometime next week to come and install or repair your cable?
Want to have a little bit of revenge, switch to Dish Network, the rates are much...
