How is your bill $70?

Family cable from Cablevision is $49.95 right on their website.

The box is only $9.95 a month. Is the rest all taxes?

The DVR service is $9.95, you still have the rental fee for the box too.

Check the threads about Fios--I would not go with them EVER again. We are back with Cablevision after months of hassle with Fios. NOT WORTH IT.

Re: Cablevision's Family pack... No Premium Channels, Phone or Internet for $70.00!

We just got our first bill after the triple play year promo. I see all these weird fees that weren't there before. I was so ******. I called them up and asked them why these fees weren't there before. They hit us up for 10.95 just to have the music stations and interactive channels. I told them I was done and wanted to cancel. My bill went from 146 to 123. I wasn't satisified and they took off the dvr box charge for a full year. The promo is extended another year. I am normally not a person to complain but these fees came up after the promo period and it annoyed me that I couldn't see them before.

Re: Cablevision's Family pack... No Premium Channels, Phone or Internet for $70.00!

I wanted to get rid of my movie channels because my bill was $150 a month with all 3 services and just one regular cable box. They only wanted to shave off $17.00 a month for downgrading the movie channels. Cable stinks! We want to switch FIOS soon.

They stood us up three times for installation, then installed incorrectly and i waited on the phone over 2 hours each time waiting for customer service. who couldn't help at all. i just don't think they are prepared to deal with the increase in volume. i went back to cablevision.

Re: Cablevision's Family pack... No Premium Channels, Phone or Internet for $70.00!

i am SO glad we just got fios.

keep in mind that cablevision doesn't know what areas are covered by fios - they are currently in the middle of a "bidding war" with verizon.

if you tell cablevision you got quoted a lower price with verizon, you may be able to get them to match or go lower. that's what DH and i did. cable gave us $$ off our bill (of course, when we told verizon about that, they gave us even MORE $$ off our bill so we ended up saving a ton! and yeah, we went with fios. so happy we did!)

Sorry you had a bad experience, my install tech was smart and went way above expectations, hid my wires and everything, gave me a bunch of HDMI cables and really looked out for me..
The 40.00, up front, tip probally didn't hurt my cause either.........

I wouldn't switch to FIOS unless I was getting a significantly better deal money wise.

The installation is a hassle. And after all those stories I hear about Verizon screwing people out of their free TVs... no thanks.

Plus I have dealt with Verizon on a business level many times. Let me just say Verizon is one of the WORST companies I have ever dealt with.

Exactly - then after your initial promo contract is up the price will probably go right up to what Cablevision is charging now anyway.

Not worth the trouble to me.
