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: extortion of a huge conglomerate
Did you know that it is not illegal to buy a cable box? But did you also know that Cablevision obtains court orders to get into the records of the companies that sell the boxes? They obtain the buyer's name and addresses, and even credit card numbers...

Pros: Technical Service People can be helpful Cons: Regular Blackout Periods and its hard to get in touch with Cablevision
Throughout my years as a Cablevision customer I have had both good and bad experiences. However, I don't know if the good outweighed the bad. Basically, they are pretty lucky that there isn't more competition in this area. If there was, there would...

Pros: Friendly and closely located Cons: Behind the times and too few channels
Having come from a large city, this reviewer was quite used to having over 80 channels on the cable system and channels that were exciting. After moving to a smaller town, the realization that a small town denotes small cable was disappointing.

Pros: none Cons: everything
The only reason I had cablevision: they were the only company servicing my area. But, the service I received was unacceptable. I was continually billed for services I did not order (a la pay-per-views, etc.) and they had the audacity to not remove...

Pros: Commitment to Long Island Cons: Price?
Yeah, their monthly fees are a bit more than I'd really like to pay, But I think the programming is pretty good. As a Long Islander, I especially like News 12. The New York City networks bring you 4 minutes of Long Island news every night, where News 12...

Pros: Hey its cable at least you got like 70 channels Cons: Expensive and Not many options
Cablevision claims to be all that and then some but isn't exactly the best of choices. All the best channels have repeats of old movies and shows. Its slow when showing the times for programs and sometimes the picture on the tv gets messed up. Its very...

Pros: None Cons: No Customer Service, Bad Cable Service
Cablevision Communications has to be the worst service provider for cable television I have ever been involved with.
I subscribed to this company's service for over two years and I've seen nothing but poor reception from them. They have...

Pros: Can't think of any (no dish?) Cons: Horrible customer service, no Food TV
I have to admit my biggest gripe with Cablevision in Rockland County NY is that it does not carry Food TV. Cablevision in all the surrounding counties get it, but I don't (doesn't figure does it?).
What else can I say about Cablevision? ...

Pros: Lower cost to add additional TVs Cons: Lousy Picture, Lousy Customer Service
Cablevision has horrible television picture quality which is very flickery, as well as well as horrid customer service and a small selection of channels compared with other providers. Cablevision is a huge monopoly that owns several TV channels as well...

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: The TV signal at least gets to the house. There's finally an alternative. Cons: Sky-high price.
Not that reliable.
Channels keep getting taken away.
Lies in their advertising.
Ever since my grandparents signed up for cable service through Cablevision countless years ago, it's only gotten worse. They have the family cable service, which has come up to $49.60 a month! This includes the crappy, pixilated picture, occasional ...

Pros: The ONLY Pro would be that their Internet connection is fast. Cons: Overpriced, bad picture on several channels, did I mention overpriced?
Overpriced, overpriced, overpriced. I was paying $98 and change for basic family cable and cable Internet a month. This is outrageous. When it was a little under $80 for both the cable Internet connection and basic family cable, it was fine. But over the ...
