WOODBURY, N.Y. -- Cablevision Systems Corp. said it will increase downstream speeds for its Optimum Online subscribers to an average of 5 Megabits per second, with a maximum downstream speed of 10 Mbps. The new speeds are being touted in two new TV advertisements. In the first, engineers cut a red rib bon to mark the introduction of the faster service.
A second commercial, slated to appear later this month, features an Optimum Online "marathon runner" leaving DSL and dial-up runners in the dust. Cablevision said it upgraded its cable-modem termination systems and built out plant to 500 homes per node to achieve the increased speeds. Optimum Online serves 1.2 million subscribers.
