Please advise which parishes received extensive damages. Still without cable and my power has been restored.
Thank you for FINALLY updating your customers on the status. Everyone understands the current situation but the lack of communication is extremely frustrating! Like Warwick West, are you able to clarify which areas are still affected and estimated time line for repairs?
They have a website, and a FB account, so they really could post some updates on those channels.
Cablevision has been awesome in our area – no interruption in service at all…
In Devonshire, ours has been out since TS Fay. Hopefully will be fixed soon.
Same here…nothing since TS Fay
Will Cablevision prorate their monthly fee for the days their customers went without service? They prorate service, to the day when you first open an account, why can’t they do the same for loss of service?
My cable came back after Fay and then went out again on Wednesday evening. Power back on and still no cable and no updates until today from Cable Vision.
I think I should be pro-rating my next payment to account for the days when I didn’t have service!
This has been the same message from Cablevision for days: there are five crews out working. Could they give us any idea of how they are progressing, how much more time they need? BELCO has been so good at updating customers with how many have been restored, where they are working, etc.; why can’t Cablevision do the same? Has anyone who lost Cablevision since Fay had it restored? We have no way of knowing.
