Tell Us: FIOS or Cablevision?

When it comes to choosing a cable company, Glen Cove residents will soon have a choice.

That’s because the Glen Cove City Council voted  5-2 in approving a cable franchise to Verizon FIOS.

“Cablevision has been a good corporate citizen all these years, but we can’t deny our residents the benefits of competition and choice,” Mayor Reginald Spinello said, in a press release.
