Cablevision Plans To Expand Wi-Fi Internet Access

Newsday

The Bethpage, LI-based company plans to expand high-speed Wi-Fi Internet service over its local coverage area beyond the 15 metropolitan area communities- five of them on Long Island- where it is now offered.   The service will be available without charge to Cablevision customers who have Optimum Online service and it will be rolled out over the next two years at a cost of about $100 per customer.

Cablevision's LI Wi-Fi communities are Long Beach, Sag Harbor, Merrick, Northport and Huntington. Its service is also available in three communities in New Jersey, two in Connecticut, three in Westchester, one in the Bronx and along the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson ferry lines. Cablevision began offering Wi-Fi several years ago.
