Cablevision, a high-speed Internet, digital cable tv and digital voice service provider in the NY, NJ & CT tri-state area, has partnered with Carbonite to provide their users with online backup. Optimum Online Backup is described as
a secure, reliable and easy-to-use online data backup solution, exclusively for Cablevision’s 2.5 million Optimum Online customers.
Cablevision Optimum Online customers can get 2 GB of free backup, or pay $44.95 for unlimited backup. This is a discount over Cabonite’s $54.95 annual fee, but still more expensive than using a 20% Carbonite offer code and paying only $43.96 per year. Carbonite does not offer a free service plan direct to customers, so the 2 GB free plan is exclusive to Cablevision customers.

Are residents of Canada eligible to receive this service? (Not the 2 GB free offer). If so can we retrieve what we have backed up without too much difficulties.
Thank you,
Peter
Hi Peter – if you’re up in Canada, you can signup with Carbonite directly for $43.96 / year. However, head the warnings by others in our Carbonite review. If you’re looking for backups without hassles, check out either Mozy or Backblaze.
