Cablevision

Pros: Not a one that I can think of.
Cons: Overpriced and abysmal service. Apathetic, incompetent management.

I'm in day 5 of a total cable tv service failure in Bogota, NJ - Bergen County - out of their Oakland Office. With no relief in sight any time soon.

Apparently, this is a system-wide failure across many systems in NJ. This, after a system...

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: Digital cable service
Cons: Regular cable sucks, cable modem not that good.

I've been using Time Warner for as long as I can remember. Ever since I moved to Long Island a little more than 7 months ago, I had to switch to Cable vision. I moved just as there were introducing iO Digital Cable. Let me tell you something, if you...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Provides more programming than the big 6 networks
Cons: Premium channels can run your bill up from $22 to $90 monthly

I remember way back in 1990 when I lived in an area where Cable TV was still unavailable. Wow, all we thought was, "What could we be missing by not having cable?" The answer, I realize today, is absolutely nothing.

1991 was the year...

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: Fast,Cheap
Cons: nothing to write home about

After more than a pleasant experience with dial-up internet connections during the middle nintees,I finally opted for the broadband solution.I had been a subscriber to Cablevision for five years before I finally bit the bullet and paid for what I thought...

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: 116 channels, movie networks
Cons: Still have alot of work to do on this service. bad sound, terrible picture, crummy costs.

Since the late 70's early 80's, Cablevision has been providing service to hundreds of Americans in the Connecticut area. I was born in the early 80's and I must say that I of course watch T.V. alot. At my age now, I am very dissapointed with the...

Pros: none
Cons: always going down

I pay $75 a month for cable and it is certainly not worth even half that much. I can only speak for my cablevision but it stinks. Many times it goes out leaving the family with no television at all. When they were installing fiber optics we were without...

Pros: None
Cons: Expensive. Expensive. Very few channels. Did I mention expensive?

I used to live in New York City. Cable in NYC is relatively cheap. You get a lot of channels, and don't pay through the nose. Then I moved to Long Island and submitted to the Cablevision cable Nazis.

In Long Island, the ONLY option for cable...
