For almost an hour there has been no programming on any channel, just a blue screen that says:
'Altice Information Channel'
LI-All
Elevator music is playing.
One would think that a decent company that cared about its customers would have sent out emails or at least have a message on their website home page explaining what they're doing and when they expect to restore service. If they cared they probably could even have posted that information on the blue screen, especially since it says it is the information channel. The guide shows regular programming information.
Verizon Fios! I switched about 7 years ago and should have switched 15 years ago!
With Cablevision, I had to reboot, unplug, DVR recording failures, bringing back equipment.
The list goes on!
When Cablevision knocks on my door, I tell them “It’s NOT ABOUT PRICE ANYMORE.”

I was lucky to get Fios in Brookhaven when they started their rollout - but just internet, no TV. So was still stuck with Cablevision for TV.
Nowadays I have fiber internet and DirecTV Now streaming.

Verizon still doesn't know what they have in Verizon. I tried to get it years ago in response to a pretty good offer I got at my address that said I was now covered in that area. I called and they sent me the box and scheduled a hookup appointment but the guy never came. They rescheduled twice more and still nobody came. After a handful of calls somebody finally figured out that while there was a FIOS line outside I was at least a half mile too far away from the closest booster station needed because I was too far from the main office or switching station or whatever it was called. So, it looks like they put in miles of useless fiberoptics without the other equipment necessary to make them work.
Do you want to know what it took to get the box returned and my account credited?

If it's what I went through with Comcast/Xfinity down south, yes, I do. In my case I was getting double-charged, charged for a package I didn't have, charged for equipment I sent back, spent around 10 hours on the phone and finally had to write to the FCC to get action. And even then it took 2 times to be credited.
I'm with AT&T fiber now, and while their customer service is known to be horrible, the internet service itself is rock solid, cheap, and super fast (1 Gig up and down for $60 a month.) No data caps either which is good as I use 1-2 TB a month on average.
I'm not thrilled with DTVNow's price increases but at least I'm grandfathered with the top package (125+ channels) which they no longer offer - or if they would, it would be $50 more a month.
All in it's still less than what I paid via a cable provider and I have more flexibility.

That is what's known as "the industry standard."
