Cablevision

Pros: offer a $12/month sub-basic package
Cons: expensive otherwise, poor quality and service

Cablevision is a monopoly in my area, and much of the New York City area. This is just sad. The alternative of satellite TV is much better (see my epinions under Satellite TV).

Cablevision charges more than is fair, in my opinion, with...

Pros: Decent packages of service
Cons: Price too high

Cablevision is too expensive!! The service isn't too good, there have been blackouts of service on many occassions. The rates just tend to raise higher and higher and it feels like Cablevision has too much control over us. Relatives in other parts of...

Pros: It's the only One

I have been subjected to limited offerings in internet connection.
there is dial-up modem or Cablevision of Connecticut.
Because of concerns about $$$$ Cablevision is terribly unfriendly to hubs, networks, ethernet, etc.

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: 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: exclusive channels
Cons: pricey service

Cablevision has okay service. Not many people dispute that fact. However, Cablevision is very expensive, depending on how many channels you get. The fewer channels you get, the less money you pay. For example, the basic cable service is around $25...

Pros: Sound
Cons: Expensive, Picture is Average

Cablevision is one word. Monopoly. Cablevision has every tv cable fanatic in New York at least, and I'm sure plenty of people in other parts of the United States know this as well. Cablevision is fairly expensive depending on what channels you plan on...

Pros: Good selection of channels
Cons: Rates rise frequently

Upon moving to Long Island, we subscribed to Cablevision, primarily due to poor available reception. We were pleased with the variety of channels on our Family plan (for example, Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, as well as the local broadcast channels). Over four...

Pros: Cablevision
Cons: Cable TV

I have had Cablevision for over 2 years and since I had cable I never get board of watching T.V. Cablevision is a series of channels that you and others could order from to see what you feel is exciting for your family members and yourself.

Pros: quality tv
Cons: custom sevice, installment

Before I had cable, I figured that all cable providers were the same, except give or take a few dollars. I soon learned that this was not the case at all. I was part of the Cablevision monopoly, so I had had little choice in the matter but what I can...

Pros: wide selection
Cons: poor quality, high costs

while cablevision does offer a wide selection of cable and premium cable
channels, they have not updated the channels they offer (at least in brooklyn) for a long time. channels like Tvland, Fx, MSNBC, and Cooking are not yet offered or available...

Pros: none
Cons: all cons

Having been with Cablevision for 25+ years my opinion and insights should be regarded seriously..Just today the telemarketing group received 28 calls from Nassau customers requesting Cable service but the customer only spoke Spanish.. Since I am the only...

Pros: It's Cable T.V.
Cons: It's Pay T.V.

Cablevision isn't exactly the best Cable in NY. The only problem is, is that we in Bklyn and the Bronx really don't have a choice. That's the only cable available to us. Time Warner is shown in Manhattan and Queens so for what we have I guess it's okay....

Pros: You gotta have it
Cons: There's only one place to buy it and it's too darn expensive!

Microsoft is being accused of being a monopoly. What about cable companies?

My area is stuck with Daniels Cablevision. No options, no choices. This service is the only utility more expensive in the San Diego area than in San Francisco! Will...
