Optimum Online

Cablevision, the tri-state area's number one full service telecommunications and entertainment provider, has invested in one of the most sophisticated digital platforms in the world. From this state-of-the art fiber optic network the company is able to deliver the extraordinary capabilities of broadband to its subscribers, including a lightning-fast Internet connection called Optimum Online.

How did Cablevision become the first company in the country to offer a self-install cable modem? By always communicating with its customers, Cablevision knew they wanted convenience and value as much as high-speed Internet access. Self-installation became the most convenient and cost-effective way to put the power back in consumers' hands.

Consumer response to the convenience and cost-saving benefits of Optimum Online and its self-installation option is unprecedented. More than 95% of Optimum Online users choose to self-install. More than 85% of users do not need a service call, instead turning to the troubleshooters manning the phones 24/7 at the Optimum Online tech support call center.Once installed in their homes, users enjoy access to the world of online information and entertainment at extraordinary speed - more than triple the speed of DSL and more than 150x faster than traditional dial-up modems. Optimum Online frees users from second phone line costs, dial-up busy signals, long waits for downloads and poor sound and picture quality. In addition to more speed, Optimum Online delivers more power and more Internet to the whole family. Users can get news, shop, play games, trade stocks and learn with faster site-to-site navigation, better sound and picture quality - making the online experience come alive.

The aggressive Optimum Online rollout continues in the tri-state area. Consumers can visit the www.optimumonline.com website, type in their zip code and immediately see if the service is available in their area. In addition, new Optimum Online services such as online ordering and home delivery of the cable modem are available from this Web site.

For smaller businesses requiring high-speed Internet access for four or fewer users, Lightpath offers Business Class Optimum Online, an alternative that is more than 150 times faster than dial-up access and more than triple the speed of DSL.
