Roosevelt Island Residents Seeking Answers On Bright Horizons Pre-School Tuition and Verizon Internet Service

Image From Actionsignslv

Can you help a couple of Roosevelt Island neighbors with the following questions. A reader of this post asks:
Can anyone tell me what the tuition rates are at Bright Horizons? Thanks.
and another reader inquires:
I am new to 475 main as well, is there any way to get a internet only service? Verizon online still "thinks" they don't offer internet service to 475 main.
According to their web site, Bright Hoizons at the Octagon:
... is a full service early learning program for children ages six weeks through five years old, on a full-time and part-time basis. We are a full day program, open from 7:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., serving fifty children....
No information on tuition rates. Can anyone help?

As to availability of Verizon FIOS at 475 Main Street, the Verizon Check Availability web page indicates that FIOS is not available at this location although it is available at both nearby 425 and 455 Main Street. Does anyone have any information on FIOS availability at 475 Main Street?

Hi,

I live in 475 Main Street, and the only available option to get the Internet when we moved in last year was Time Warner Cable. So far, it went ok, but we haven't compare to any other providers.

The contact for Tiem warner is:
Time Warner Cable - TV cable service & Internet -212-420-4846 or you call e-mail robert.montgomery@twcable.com


For Bright Horizon, if it is in 475, the tuition have to be asked directly to the daycare office, in the building. Ask the doorman.

Hope it helps,

Nicolas

Verizon's website is usually correct when it comes to determining if an address has access to FiOS. The fact that two neighboring buildings have FiOS does not imply that another one close by could have it, too, especially that 465 Main and 475 Main are much older buildings. Fiber has to be run into the building and to each apartment, i.e. it is a function of the building's management to get it in.
