Cablevision launching fastest U.S. broadband service to date
April 30, 2009
Cablevision Systems today announced the launch of a new high speed internet product that will deliver the nation's fastest downstream broadband connections, up to 101 megabits-per-second (Mbps), over Cablevision's fiber optic network.
Cablevision, the broadband internet and cable provider with 3 million household customers, said its Optimum Online Ultra service will be offered across the company's entire service area starting May 11.
The new level of service will be available for $99.95 per month and includes the advanced features and configurations that are offered as part of the Optimum Online Boost premium tier, which delivers speeds of up to 30 Mbps downstream and 5 Mbps upstream, the company said.
"Optimum Online Ultra firmly solidifies Optimum as the fastest internet service in the home, at work and through the air over Optimum WiFi," said Tom Rutledge, Cablevision's chief operating officer.
Optimum Online is the most highly-penetrated broadband service in the nation, used by more than 52 percent of the homes passed by Cablevision's fiber optic network, the company said.
Cablevision also announced that it was doubling the downstream speed of its Optimum WiFi wireless internet service, to up to 3.0 Mbps.
