Cable company upped speed again...

Postby Socco » Fri Nov 10, 2006 12:25 pm

Optimum Online Ultra
The third and fastest service included in Cablevision's suite of data products is Optimum Online Ultra, which offers customers a dedicated 50 Mbps symmetrical downstream and upstream data service.

First offered through a targeted deployment last spring, Optimum Online Ultra delivers this extremely high rate of speed over Cablevision's existing network facilities, leveraging the spectrum above that which is traditionally used to provide video, voice and data services to create new, QoS-managed bandwidth.

Optimum Online Ultra is available across Cablevision's entire service area immediately and is the fastest residential service ubiquitously deployed in the nation.


50mbps/50mbps 0_o

Probably enough to wait off. I was considering FIOS b/c its coming out soon. We'll have to see the price.

Also, now the web hosting is uncapped. Apparently they changed that. There is a slight likelyhood of getting BW capped but I'm on a sparsely populated node so it's unlikely. The 30/2 is only $10 more than my current bill, so the 50/50 could be reasonable. I'm suprised it's residential.

$50 for 15/2
$60 for 30/2
Dunno how much for the 50/50 but I hear it's extremely reasonable for the service provided. 5 Static IP's and modem provided...

You poor kids, I have much sympathy for your plight. :cry:

:cry: <----This is me sincerely crying over the increase in download/upload speed on your cable connection. Never in this world has anyone endured such hardships.
