Cablevision offers new package of Internet, TV, phone

Bethpage-based Cablevision Systems Corp. said Monday it is offering a new package of Internet, TV and telephone services. 

Cablevision said the package includes faster Internet speeds, an “advanced wireless router” and the ability to display computer images and sounds on televisions without extra equipment. 

“We introduced the Optimum Triple Play in 2004, and it has been an enormously successful offer for Cablevision and one that has been emulated across the industry to establish three-product relationships with customers,” Jonathan Hargis, Cablevision’s executive vice president of marketing, said in a statement. 

“The Ultimate Triple Play takes our compelling value proposition, across all three services, and ties it together with faster Internet speeds, Optimum Link and an advanced wireless router that is a perfect complement to our new Optimum App for iPad. We believe this will be an extremely popular offer with new customers looking for the advantages of our core services combined with our latest technological innovations,” Hargis said in the prepared statement. 

Cablevision said the new package is offered to new customers for $99.80 a month for the first year.
