The plan includes unlimited talk, text,
and data and runs just $9.95 per month for Optimum Online customers, and
$29.95 per month for everyone else. Either way, there's no annual
contract to lock yourself into, though it does require purchasing a
Motorola Moto G from Cablevision for $99.95.
This particular Moto G comes with
special software that's been optimized for Freewheel, allowing users to
bounce seamlessly between Wi-Fi networks. Users are automatically
connected to Optimum Wi-Fi hotspots in the area, plus you can add any
locked Wi-Fi hotspots you have access to -- just enter the password once
and you're all set.
Cablevision has been building out its
Optimum Wi-Fi network for the past seven years. There are now more than a
million hotspots in the New York tri-state area alone. On top of that,
Cablevision has partnered with other cable providers, effectively adding
access to around 300,000 more Wi-Fi hotspots across the country.
