The installation was prompt and thorough. The service speed meets all of my needs. When I needed to request special billing accommodation the customer service rep was understanding, kind and granted my request.
4/5
Optimum was easy to schedule for hookup. Technician was on time and knowledgeable. He took his time to ensure the modem was placed where we wanted it. Optimum noticed a service issue before we did and the Service tech was polite, informative and went above to ensure our service was not interrupted long and would last for the long haul. We are very satisifed.
5/5
When using Zoom there will be at least two occasions of freeze up during a one hour meeting. Some pixelation when watching streaming service.

Will never use them again. Very disappointed after being…
Internet was down for a solid year; the company never fixed the issue, but they still took out an auto-draft payment every single month. Because of how unnecessarily difficult it has been to get in contact with a live agent, they have no documented record of an outage and refuse to reimburse or credit anything. Will never use them again. Very disappointed after being a customer for nearly a decade.

Undependable. Cuts in and out and has caused various problems. I was updating my website when it cut out in the middle of the update and left me with a mess. Price goes up every year as quality of service goes down. I am a longtime, patient customer who has been waiting in vain for things to change for the better. This morning I…
Undependable. Cuts in and out and has caused various problems. I was updating my website when it cut out in the middle of the update and left me with a mess. Price goes up every year as quality of service goes down. I am a longtime, patient customer who has been waiting in vain for things to change for the better. This morning I started seriously looking for an alternative.

I live in a seasonal college town, and every summer, Optimum throttles down the bandwidth for cheaper operating costs. Then in the fall when the kids come back, the network is overloaded from the high traffic, and for a week or two, I will have very slow speeds and intermittent interruptions, until Optimum finally catches up with the usage. All this while I pay…
I live in a seasonal college town, and every summer, Optimum throttles down the bandwidth for cheaper operating costs. Then in the fall when the kids come back, the network is overloaded from the high traffic, and for a week or two, I will have very slow speeds and intermittent interruptions, until Optimum finally catches up with the usage. All this while I pay full price for the 1 gig plan. They seem to have a monopoly in places, but avoid if you can.
