How fast are Optimum's internet plans?

Optimum offers internet plans that range from download speeds of 10Mbps all the way up to 400Mbps. As expected, the slower your plan, the lower your monthly cost will be.

Do I need to pay data overage fees?

Optimum's internet plans all come with unlimited data, so you won't ever be charged any data overage fees.

Where is Optimum internet available?

Optimum internet is currently only available in select areas of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.

Do I have to pay for installation?

Yes. When you sign up for an Optimum internet plan, you'll be charged a one-time installation fee of $99 (standard installation) or $149.99 (premium installation).

What equipment do I need?

You will need a compatible modem in order to use Optimum internet in your home. You can either provide your own modem or lease one from Optimum for $10/month. If you also want WiFi enabled in your home, you'll also need a router. Optimum will provide a router for free if you rent a modem from them. Alternatively, you can also provide your own router.

Can I bundle my Optimum internet with TV and phone?

Yes, there are a number of bundling options for internet, home phone and TV. Whether you want all three, or just two out of the three services, Optimum have packages available. Note that if you want Optimum TV or home phone, you must have an internet plan also.

Am I locked into a contract with Optimum?

No. Optimum's internet plans do not require you to sign into a contract and you can cancel your service at any time without penalty. If you cancel within the first 30 days of your service, Optimum will refund you your monthly cost, modem charges and installation fees. If you cancel after the 30-day period, you'll be responsible for all charges, including installation and the days you've used the service.

What is Altice One?

Altice One is a connectivity and entertainment service that Optimum uses to provide its services to its customers.

Optimum Customer Service & Reputation


Like many internet service providers, Optimum doesn't get the greatest reviews when it comes to customer service. 

A common complaint amongst customers is unhelpful and rude customer service agents. 

Other complaints tend to be about spotty internet connection or slow speeds, which leads to frustrations with the customer support team when trying to have these issues fixed.
