Cablevision Systems Corp. said that it was offering credits to customers unable to access their Optimum service.
Cablevision was joined by Verizon's FiOS and other cable giants in
lowering bills in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which knocked power out
for millions in the New York metropolitan area.
"Many of our customers have been severely impacted by Hurricane
Sandy," Kristin Dolan, Cablevision’s senior executive vice president of
product management and marketing, said in a statement. "In addition,
customers will not be responsible for any damage to Cablevision
equipment caused by the storm, and will be able to exchange damaged
equipment at no cost."
Of the 1.3 million Cablevision subscribers without power, about 450,000 were on Long Island. Another 600,000 were in New Jersey.
FiOS, DirecTV and Dish Network have all implemented similar policies for their customers.
Verizon said it would replace damaged or missing equipment at no cost to the customer.

Lets stop being patsys.
Demand Brookhaven let Verizon FIOS TV Service! Dump Cablevision, and the rag called Newsday!
It is done in the US in new developments. we have it from the street to the house. Don't they have it in major cities in the U.S.??? It is TIME to move into the 21st century! No more excuses. Just think, how many more people would be employed! Think about the decreased cost in human suffering and long term repair cost!!!
I don't want to play the game, today Cablevision, tomorrow Fios. It's a waste of precious time to be on the phone begging!! Where are the men we put in office, why aren't they demanding this for the seniors who have paid for so many years and now may not be in a position to continue this madness.
At a projected cost of at least $20-$30 billion or more - where do you expect to come up with the money to put the lines underground?
