Cablevision has not disclosed the price of its 50mbps service, which also offers 50mbps of upstream capacity. The 30mbps service, which offers 2mbps upstream, will cost an extra $14.95 per month, or $9.95 more for customers who also have a voice over Internet Protocol phone line, the company said. Cablevision said the service will be available to all of its customers throughout its network by the middle of 2006.
I love it! I was actually just surfing on Verizon last night to see if FIOS was available yet (it’s not) and considering what it would be like to have even more speed. 30MB cable is just killer!! Bring it on!
