BOWL’ SCORES Fiber optic upgrade brings cable workers to back yards

BY RIKKI MASSAND

The Village of Garden City has requested that Cablevision/ Altice USA to offer better communication with residents as their workers arrive in neighborhoods and backyards to implement network upgrades.

The Altice USA company is doing a regional upgrade program on their existing coaxial cables to fiber optic cables throughout the northeast. Garden City Village Administrator Ralph V. Suozzi said the upgrade will provide more opportunities for Altice USA to meet the high consumer demand for streaming services.
