I currently have 30/5 Mbps service from Cablevision for $55/month. Now I see they are rolling out 101/15 Mbps service!

Sent a request for a rep to contact me. It must be expensive and/or have limited availability right now if there is no info online.

Well we are falling behind in some service markets but Canada up until just a couple years ago had the best broadband infrastructure on the planet for home users.
EDIT: Wait maybe best broadband infrastructure should read best broadband penetration |

I meant to update this - thanks for the reminder! 
The new 101/15Mbps service is $100/month plus a $300 activation fee! 
No thanks.
Their base service is 15/2Mbps at $45/month.
The service I have is 30/5Mbps at $55/month.
I doubt most of the Web can keep up at 101Mbps for me to get any bang for the buck out of it!

| And yet DSL is still depressingly slow and expensive. I hate Bellsouth. |

Either way... I still hate you. I pay almost $50 a month for ~1mb/800k plus 5 static IP's.
That's as good as it gets here... I wanna cry.
