Optimum Online from Cablevision

Well after haveing a bad experience with Verizon DSl, I got Cable from cablevision and it is great. I get speeds from 900kb/s to 1.5mb/s. I am never disconected except one time when my cable went out, but it was only for 30minutes. This is the best internet service I have ever had

I wish I could get cable internet.. "Slaps Ameritech and AT&T in the mouth"

I love my cable..

What bandwidth test are you using? The tester here (from BandwidthPlace.com) measures by megabits, not megabytes.

what is the difference?

8 bits = 1 byte

I've never really had a good experience with cable.

That node system really bothers me. I'd rather front the extra cash and get a dedicated connection.

Sounds great! cant wait till cable becomes available in my area (1st quater of 2002)..

You should get it very soon

Fenix, when you get it you should also set your computers up to a network so all your computers benefit from the cable connection. I think the Cable guys do that though.

Just got it today works great I love this

Fenix make sure you have a firewall set up as well.

The router he has, has a built in firewall, and so does WinXP.

He does not need to download anything else.


One bad thing about OOL, they don't allow servers

It's not bad if you don't want to set up your own server in the first place.
