Cablevision loves you, will offer $99 101Mbps uncapped internet service

It's been a rough week or so for Big Cable, but it looks like the East Coast's Cablevision's decided to play things a little differently than Comcast and Time Warner: it's just announced that uncapped 101Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 service will be rolling out on May 11 across its entire service area. The best part? It'll cost $99 a month, making it faster and cheaper than any other high-speed package we can think of -- 50Mbps service from Comcast and Verizon is around $140. Not bad at all -- let's hope the competition picks up on it.

99$ for 101Mbits?? What a ripoff! I pay 25$ for 100Mbit, no bandwidth caps =) .. Higher taxes, better infrastructure.. lower costs, higher speed..

If only I lived in the coverage area. I'm stuck at (arguably) 5Mbps, with no other reasonable option in the area. Charter sucks.

I have Optimum Online Boost and I am very happy. Maybe I'll be getting this although I don't need it at all.

Please, for the love of the Universe, raise the standards of internet much much higher here in the U.S. Make it at least 100/100Mbit, uncapped, and for much cheaper prices then what is currently offered by U.S. ISPs.
