Cablevision offers consumers high speed or broadband Internet connections through their Optimum Online® subsidiary. The company's current service area includes some part of New York City, and the areas in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. High speed cable Internet connections are delivered through the company's existing cable television network infrastructure.
In order to have Optimum Online® deliver a broadband cable Internet connection, the consumer will need to lease or purchase a specialized cable modem that will provide the connection between the coaxial cable and the consumer's computer. As most homes and businesses are now wired for cable access, there usually is not other equipment that needs to be installed.
Like most high speed Internet connections, there is an intentional discrepancy in data transmission speeds from the Internet to the consumer's computer – called downstream or download speeds – and from the consumer's computer to the Internet – called upstream or upload speeds; the download speeds are faster than the upload speeds.
Pricing and Service Tiers
Optimum Online® offers consumers three pricing and service tiers from which they can choose.
Optimum Online® – This is the standard level of service.
Optimum Online® Boost – Maximum connection speeds of up to 30 megabits per second (Mbps) for downloads and 5 Mbps for uploads, along with the ability to send large email attachments and web hosting services.
Optimum Online® Ultra – This service tier offers maximum download speeds of up to 101 Mbps and upload speeds as fast as 15 Mbps. Additionally, this tier offers web hosting services, 15 email address, and SiteBuilder for designing a personal website.
