Thanks for posting this. I’m also upset and I’m also covering this on my blog (linked). I called Optimum internet support at least 4 times today, refused to give account info (press 0 and # three times when prompted to enter a phone number), and complained emphatically. The agents were obviously all ready for this — so it’s clear that they’ve been trained to handle this in advance. Opt-out now! Screw the Dolans!

Justin and rest of the guys, I used Optiomum’s opt-out button option and is working perfectly, (is the first time I love to see the 404 error page on my browser he he he)

I can confirm this as another Cablevision Customer. It’s truly unfortunate.

Hey Aaron,

Just so you know there IS a way to opt out, even though we shouldn’t have to. Click “About this Page” on the right side. Towards the bottom of the next page there’s an opt-out button. I installed OPENDNS and it’s working well, but was kind of a pain.
