A reader who will be moving to Roosevelt Island soon asks for recommendations on Cable and Internet packages.
Many thanks for your lovely blog on Roosevelt Island. It is really great to read about the place before actually moving there. I will be moving into Southtown and would appreciate if you have any recommendations on Cable and Internet packages and providers for Southtown.
Time Warner Cable and Verizon are the only two companies as of now that provide such service. TW is promoting a Triple Play 50% off of the first two months service for cable tv, high speed online and digital phone. I subscribe to their cable and broadband service but am very leery of digital phone. If the cable service goes out phone service is lost as well so I use Verizon land line phone service although I am seriously considering dropping land line and just going wireless. I am satisfied with the TW cable and Roadrunner broadband service but they can always do better and if a faster system comes along I would give it a shot. I do not know anything about the quality of Verizon’s DSL service to Roosevelt Island but understand that their high speed FIOS service may be available here soon. The Octagon building has some additional options though I am not aware of the details.Hope that helps.
