Compare Optimum internet to other providers

Optimum may not be the only option for internet in your area. In the four states that Optimum provides coverage – New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut – there are eight other primary providers available. 

Pro tip: Cheapest isn’t always the best value. As you can see from the table below, two providers, RCN and Windstream, have plans that start out cheaper than Optimum prices. However, the cheapest plans with those providers will only get you 10 Mbps and 15 Mbps respectively, versus the 300 Mbps you get for paying at most $25 more each month ($45/mo. in total) That could mean the difference between streaming and gaming on multiple devices in HD in your home or only being able to game and stream on one or two devices simultaneously. 

Take a look at how Optimum Wi-Fi plans compare to other cable, DSL and fiber optic internet providers that may be available at your address.
