West Side Stadium edit

Probably should develop the info on the death of the West Side Stadium proposal and NYC's 2012 Olympics bid... but I have a conflict of interest so someone with a more neutral point of view should do it :P - RayaruB

OptimumOnline service edit

Maybe give a quick overview of OptimumOnline's internet services (15/2, 30/5, 101/15), mentioning their tendency to roll out the fastest internet speeds available in the US over a cable system at any given time, probably helped by their dense geographical footprint. 15/2, 30/5 and 101/15 service are durrently running respectively on DOCSIS 1.1, DOCSIS 2.0 and DOCSIS 3.0 systems and cost $44.99, $59.99 and $99.99 per month respectively. OptimumOnline Ultra (101/15 Mbps) currently has a (somewhat controversial) $300 installation fee.

OOL upgraded speeds from 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up to 15 down and 2 up awhile back. They do use fiber to all cable nodes and maintian a low density setup with regard to subscribers per node in order to reach advertised OptimumOnline speeds, though reports are around that this doesn't happen all the time.

This page should be for the US Cablevision article, not a disambiguation page. edit

This page should be for the Cablevision article. The Canadian Cablevision is a small regional cable system, when the US Cablevision is not only a regional cable operator, but the owner of some internationally distributed cable and satellite networks, and iconic venues including Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall. It's not like they two frequently confused companies. What do you think? 71.247.179.161 14:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I see that someone reverted the changes without commenting on this page. Please discuss here before another change is made. Milchama 21:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • Support - clear case for the move and the Canadian company can be a DAB link on the main article. TerriersFan 03:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Move talk page edit

When Cablevision (US) was moved back to Cablevision, it didn't include the talk page. Milchama 18:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Cablevision Logo.gif edit

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Ties to Enzyte edit

Are there ties between the current manufactures and distributers of Enzyte and the owners of Cablevision? 24.40.165.154 (talk) 22:50, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

More on History of the company edit

updated the article, it probably could use a history section, although most of the company's recent history is there, not much about its founding or development during the 80s and 90s is there.--Rusf10 (talk) 04:30, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Unsourced, unexpanded info edit

"Cablevision also carried the Tennis Channel for a brief time from October 2009-September 2011. Cablevision joined the NCTC in August 2009 just to carry the Tennis Channel on the premium sports package which costs extra per month. By joining NCTC the Tennis Channel was forced to give its signal to Cablevision. Once the Tennis Channel's contract expired with NCTC on September 3, 2011 the Tennis Channel pulled its signal from all cable carriers unwilling to negotiate a new deal or carry the channel more widespread. The Tennis Channel was pulled from Verizon but returned on January 17, 2012. Cablevision has yet to make any attempt at bringing the Tennis Channel back as of June 2012."

1: What is the NCTC?

2: Where's the citation for any of this?

Separate Article for Optimum edit

Optimum should have a separate article, considering that it has existed longer than its parent company and there is sufficient information for an Optimum article. There are separate articles for Comcast and Xfinity, so why not with Optimum? My proposed name is Optimum (TV service). 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:5C27:2F31:29B9:AAC1 (talk) 16:11, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Actually it maybe best to hold off on creating a separate article just for Optimum because Altice just announced on May 24th that all customer facing brands (Optimum & Suddenlink)[1] will be phased out and become "Altice." Since Suddenlink already has an article a discussion maybe needed to either merge Suddenlink into Altice USA or move it to "Altice (cable provider" and incorporate Optimum's history into that article while leaving Altice USA intact for Cablevision's history. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 09:02, 6 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Optimum shouldn't get a separate article, what should get a separate article is Cablevision. Altice will be merging Optimun and Sudeenlink together next year and this article should be about that. Cablevision, a now defunct company which predates the Optimum branding should have its own article. If two separate article exist for Optimum and Altice, where would it be approiate to discuss Cablevision's history before the Optimum brand was created in the 90s? The answer is neither, that's why Cablevision needs a separate article for the historical company.--Rusf10 (talk) 18:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
As of 2020 Cablevision has an article, and the Optimum name is still in use, so yes, it's time for Optimum to have an article. The above-suggested name's "(TV Service)" qualifier doesn't match the present reality, namely that Optimum's direct-mail offerings include Internet service. "(TV/Internet)" without the word service is short yet more complete. An old article (a redirect as of 2008) named "Optimum TV" contained primarily a list of channels. A link to this, in the spirit of WP:Preserve, is planned for Optimum (TV/Internet)). Pi314m (talk) 20:14, 11 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
