Jezo is the least of my worries. I coated my cable with thermite paint to avoid outages. He should have gotten that memo.


It's Mr. Apple/Verizon I hate right now.

I would SO have Fios if it was available in my area. I fucking hate Cablevision with a passion.

Oh, PS - My cable was back as of like 2 in the morning.

[Doctor Z]

Yeah, still unfortunately not in my area. God knows when they'll get around to it.

[JPMNICK]

The only outage i have now is the fucking Dolan family has removed channel 7 (abc) from cable. i seriously cant believe a channel i can get for fucking free is not on my cable that i pay 140 bucks a month for

[furie]

and didn't they have this problem with fox a couple of years ago, and nbc in the 90's?
cablevision seems to be the common denominator.

and food network at the start of 2010

they are the fucking worst. the main issue is that both of my cable boxes SUCK. they are slow as shit, the guide barely moves, and the UI is unusable.

[HBox]

Why the hell can't FIOS get here? The very SECOND they are available we are switching and I am going to take a shit on every one of these lousy fucking cable boxes and I am going to leave them on their doorstep. The fucking gall they have to act as if they are protecting the consumer with their ridiculously high bills for shit service and few channels. I have never had this kind of hate for anyone or anything in my life. All Cablevision has ever been good for is making sure I can't watch the stuff I want to watch.

[Serpico1103]

Fios is great.

[HBox]

Fios is great.

FIOS could be only in black and white and have internet speeds of up to 28k per second and I would still switch to them.

[Serpico1103]

Right now they only have black, but it's the truest black you can get.

[boobieman]

Yes Cablevision sucks dick, but if you think that FIOS will not have these problems down the line, your nuts...verizon are the biggest assholes. Once FIOS gets big and a lot of people start getting it, then they will have a problem with CBS, or The Disney.

As for what is going on with Cablevision and ABC right now, fuck them both, I will be Satilight of love tonight..while playing on pS3.


SSEYYAYAAA

[mikeyboy]

I like FIOS. Customer service has been great. (MUCH better than it was when I had Verizon DSL). Also, they gave me a netbook and Mets luxury box tickets for switching over.

say no more. ill go

[Snoogans]

im pretty sure he meant a regular box. A luxury box costs like 50 gran a game, im pretty sure they arent giving that out

[mikeyboy]

I don't know. The face value on the tickets was something like $260 apiece, so whatever that was.

edit: food and drink included as well.

yea thats field box. Basically the lowest area of seats to the field


still really good seats. Luxury box is like the shit up higher with the bar and food and all that shit

[mikeyboy]

Bar & food were included. I don't know exactly where the seats were because I couldn't go, so my wife went with her sister, but I thought it was the up higher seats.

Yea in the restarant, cause its club seats. thats not what i mean

A luxury box is the private boxes between levels of the stadium. The bar and food are inside the box and usually you can have up to like 20 people in there. they are like 50 grand a game to rent one out.

You got club field box seats which probably included dinner in one of the restarants

in case no one else pointed it out, abc pulled themselves off as a negotiating tactic. your outrage is showing it's working. abc apparently wants something like double what any other network is getting.

never been to the new mets stadium, but been to a bunch of knicks/rangers games (and one game at old yankee stadium) in a luxury box and your pricing is off. they pay a yearly fee, then the actual tickets are in the hundreds or low thousands (x 12 or so tickets per event, all of which had to be purchased as well).

yea and unlike last time with food, ABC isnt running shit to counter cablevision. They are basically just sayin cablevision is being honest and they just dont give a fuck

thats how it works when all the boxes are owned already. When there is a place that has boxes that arent owned by someone, they rent them out game to game and all inclusive packages are EXPENSIVE.

I guess its possible verizon owns one and is giving out tickets in their own box but that seems a bit extreme to give out just for signing up. They could prob make more money sellin the tickets on stubhub than they do on cable customers

at least you can get most of their good shit for free online in the interim.
