Anyone here have it?

Is it any good and do you know what the '13 calling features' are? Also what TV stations are included in the package?

Yeah, I've got it.

Not sure what the 13 calling features are, but you get a shitload of channels.

HD is also free. I just wish they'd give us Military Channel HD.

Do you see the Caller ID when someone calls and are able to have three way calling?

And I have heard some reviews about them raising the prices after every year or so... is this true with the triple play?

Yeah, we've got Caller ID...and what's cooler is that if you have the triple play, calls show up on your TV in a little pop-up box with the number and the ID.

I think there's 3 way calling as well but I'm not 100% positive.

Just checked on the site. All the features look pretty good. I might get it all I need to do now is cancel my phone/satellite.

I've had no complaints...except for two.

The internet isn't as fast as FiOS.

That incredibly annoying guy on the ads says that "all Islander games will be in HD". Uh, yeah...they're not. Some are, but not all.

I'm just glad I can end my deal with those assholes at AT&T and get rid of the shitty satellite service that spazes out at random time.

I like it.  My father hates it though - after a year you start paying $100 or so for each service.

for me, the internet is pretty damn fast.  little downtime, few complaints here.  a couple of my friends have slower internet though (pretty much my entire town is Optimum, there's not much else here).

Where do you get Optimum in NYC?

I have Time Warner Internet and it sucks balls. The internet cuts out at random times and if more than one person is doing something it's super slow. I can't play a PS3 game online while my friend watches YouTube, it's that bad.

I am at my parents' home (upstate NY) right now, they have optimum online, and I'm 2 flights of stairs away from the shitty wireless router they have and I download shit at 2Mbps (real real fast). Optimum Online is the shit.

Not sure what you get for free in terms of the TV package because they have like every channel but they pay for em. There are a LOT of HD channels though.

Go to: http://www.optimum.com/order/entry.jsp and type in your zip code.

I'm going to call them up and see what the specifics are then make my decision.
