I really dont have time nor do I really feel like complaining, but this company is sort of like a scam. Every single month my bill changes for some reason, every day they call me to make upgrades, and everyday there is some sort of problem with the speed of the new Samsung boxes. I am more upset that customer service tells me they are going to give me a better rate and when I get my bill that same month the premium is 7. ARE THEY CRAZZZY They had me switch over to a new promotion because my promotion was ending and they charged me for doing so. This company sucks, howeve, I am forced to use them in my area. Philip G 871. 2Whats your storyI loved your article and I could not agree with you more. I was thinking of creating a website and starting a petition against a cable box for every TV. Maybe a national turn your cable box in daySandra G 73. Whats your story I hate the new garbage DVR. Today Ive had the wonderful experience of watching the British Open and the service espically failing. I cant fast forward because it tells me the recording is unavailable. I then have to reboot and fast forward back to my original spot. This freezes, it has a 1. I cant believe they charge you for a service available in the late 9. Its a monopoly because I really have no other options. In the great words from Tommy Boy, If you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. Recently when my phone, internet and phone went down I was first told to return the box. My next call they were sending someone out in 5 days. In that same call I was transferred and they made an appointment for the next day Just keep calling because every person gives you a different answer. Shocking. Im at the point where I want people to join forces and cancel their service. Then order it again. Then cancel. Then order it again. I figure they should feel our frustration. A total joke. There are 1. DONT GET OPTIMUM ONLINECABLEVISION The old DVR works great. It wasnt until I tried to cancel my account unless I got the old model back that Ive been satisfied with their service. Buyer beware. We were also charged for On Demand without our permission. It was partially credited back. Its truly remarkable how my bill is different every month Dont let the 3 services for 9. I pay around 1. 80 a month. If you like to be taken advantage of, use optimum. Sincerely,The guy holding his ankles. Walking funny. With no end in sight. Don B 72. 21. 2Follow up 72. You know it just never ends. We got 1. 0 calls a day because they recirculated a telephone number. Called to get it changed. Our line was dead for 2 months. Only partial credit. They finally get it setup and sure enough, we start getting calls for a random person. The BEST part is that weve been getting daily calls FROM CABLEVISION FOR THE WRONG PERSONYoud think these idiots would make the proper changes. Call to remove the old party from being linked to the account. Next day, 2 calls from CABLEVISION again requesting the same old party that was removed. Im now onto my third phone number. If this happens again Im going to call CABLEVISION every single day, multiple times and ask for Verizon. Lets see if they finally can get this very basic setup done right. Its disgusting. Its revolting. Its a real life theft and abuse. Whats your story Ive had optimum io triple play for about 2 years now, and not one day has gone by where the sound has totally went. ESPN freezes. My optimum online modem goes out from time to time. Im trying to download something from a web site, and the damn modem goes out, and reboots. I cant record with the dvr, for fear that the picture will freeze or the sound will go out. I recorded a program about 2 weeks ago, and I set it to save until I erase it. I had enough space to keep it, I go to watch it, and its gone. Customer service is a joke. I threaten to cancel them and they gave me a free month, but still problems exist. I once called for service, and the guy came out, and just like fate would have it, it kept the sound and picture until he left. Im switching to Verizon FIOS. I know the phone service works cause they call me to remind me that my bill is due NEXT WEEK. Im through. Keith B 71. Whats your storyMoved out of my parents home we made the switch about 1. Fios was not available in the area of my new apartment. So I regrettably was forced into Cablevisions crap service. I hate Cablevision regardless of their crap service disgusting management of local sports teams mainly and I did not want to give them any more of my money. Firstly, tech comes for initial install, installs old defective dvr box with more scuffs on it then I could count. Saxon Phonics Program there. About 3 weeks later, box starts turning off and rebooting every hour and decides it doesnt want to allow me to access the dvr menus. So I call and they want to send a tech out, but the only date they give me is 4 days away. Though I would have accepted that, I decide to just bring it to the store instead since Im only 5 min away. Second problem. Im paying extra for sports package, only for the NHL Network channel. Yet for some damn reason every time I switch to NHL channel it says, Channel Not Available, Please try again later. Why in the world am I paying extra for this channel and its not even coming in. Call up customer service, they say theres nothing they can do besides credit my next bill. Internet would drop out at least 5 times a day. Call up service and theyre telling me its my BRAND SPANKING NEW 1. NETGEAR Router. If thats the case then how come when my internet drops out, my phone line also goes dead. Thankfully, I got the best email yesterday stating that Fi. OS is now available at my address and my order is already placed and install is coming in 3 days. Cable can screw themselves until next time. Steven S 711. 2Whats your story CablevisionOptimum is the most unprofessional company around. I urge you to stay away if you dont have them and to leave if you do. I recently added 2 more cable boxes to my setup. Unfortunately, they gave me 2 Samsung boxes which have been the bane of my existence. Constantly freezing needing to be rebooted. I have there techs come out to fix them on more than one occasion which is a waste of a day, and the new DVR plus system is crap. Very slow to respond to controls, FF, REW, Stop, and playback can take up to 1. Every month I have to call for a credit which I have to argue for. With the amount I pay the damn system should be up to par w others, its not. Its super slow. Cablevision is a money grubbing company who has no concern for their customers. PS the theater chain they own is crap, too. Steven F 62. 81. Whats your story I have an Xbox 3. Xbox LIVE and I cant even go online for 5 minutes without Cablevision glitching out and kicking me out of Xbox LIVE. Eric W 61. 91. Whats your story We have the Optimum package. We had it when it was Bresnan. We had some problems with our TV tiling, snowy reception, among other things. It has even gotten worse since Optimum took over. We like our phone and internet service very well. They need to pick up the quality of TV or they will begin losing lots of business I think everyone should raise heck with them like the young lady did when Verizon wanted to charge a 2. Verizon backed down. FRUSTRATED in MONTANA 651. Whats your story We are moving on in about 4.
