Default Just upgrade to optimum online boost+



Not bad for 60$ a month.. HBO, DVR, and phone came with it for free.

Total TV, internet, and phone w/ 2 boxes (1 DVR) bill = 140$ a month.

Can't complain, with the new modem they gave me there is no variation in speed, it's 50+ all the time.

So what's the rest of the US getting?

I see Fios isn't your area yet.
Buddy of mine (he's in Ridge) just did the same thing.

I'm on fios. 25-26mb down and 5-6mb up.
The wireless router they gave us works fine.

Biggest issue for me w/ FIOS is price.. besides it being no where near me..

Optimum came by my house recently and gave the hard sell to get us to switch, guy was more annoying since I was working on the bikes and he wouldnt leave me alone.

Plus he tried selling me on soem hockey package and sounded like a fan but was obvious he wasnt.
