As a consumer who has sunk $349 dollars into OOL Ultra, let me be the first to give everyone the COMPLETE score on this recent “hype” from CableBandits!

Realize this, Ultra is only “Boost” doubled, what I mean is, CV does not change your drops(lines) that have been in the Hot-Cold weathers for years.. they only “swap out” modems!! (Motorola SB6120) Ultra is run thru the same cable and “turned on” at the CV office!

This is all you get for a $349 price tag…

Second, if you run a wireless/wired Router or have a VOIP service, there are going to be connectivity/compatability issues that CV will discourage you from running (unless you use their services), and practically EVERY little THING will interrupt your service on their precious and highly-sensitive systems (running a line to your TV, etc)…

I have had 2 service calls out to my apartment..in 4days of having Ultra

Average “speedtested” speeds are between 50-80Mps in NYC (not advertised 100+)..when you download anything, it drops to 30Mps!!

So much for the hype..I have warned you!

“It is illegal to steal.”

I shall quote V- “Stealing implies ownership”
No one can own 0s and 1s no matter how much they try to brainwash me into believing the contrary.
STFU and get some brain in the vacant space sitting on top of your neck.

That’s kind of ridiculous. Pretty sure good creative material will always command a price because people don’t mind paying for it. Hell, Radiohead gave away an album and let you pay whatever you wanted for it, and still made a pretty decent sum of money off it. I think that’s pretty solid proof.

It is illegal to steal. If you can afford ultra super duper Internet service then consider actually buying the movies/shows/music/games/applications moron.

Reading this has inspired me to shut down everyone using BitTorrent on the student housing networks I managed.

Our society is in such decline and generations of people have the attitude that the world owes them. Grow up you effing spoiled brats before you are faced with reality and Mommy can’t bail you out like she has your whole life.

Stop sheltering our children from disappointment, unfairness and loss so that they learn what these things are and become better human beings for it. Negatively affecting everyone around you so that you can have everything your way is unrealistic and will eventually come back around to get you in the end.
