Optimum service is satisfactory. Now and then, we've had prolonged outages but most of the time the outages last for just a minute or two. Still, I do not understand why there are so many outages. Otherwise, page loads and downloads are fairly swift.

Cablevision provides quality high-speed internet service. Downloads and page loads are swift and trouble-free. My one complaint is that outages of a short duration tend to occur frequently, sometimes once a day. The service reboots itself within a minute or two but still these outages are annoying and slow me down. My internet is bundled with TV and phone and the pricing is severe. For that reason, I am considering switching to something else as soon as it is feasible.

Cablevision offers decent speed, somewhat competitive pricing, their service is not that good at all, I lose my internet service every other weekend, and that is everybody in my building that has internet service with Cablevision, they never give you any credit for the at least ten hrs a month i don't have internet service.
