The Good

  • Quick Upload Speeds
  • Competitive Pricing
  • The "Smart Router"

Quick Upload Speeds

Optimum Online offers incredibly quick upload speeds; its top package provides an upload speed of 35 Mbps, which is one of the fastest upload speeds in the industry. This is a nice feature for customers who upload significant amounts of content to the internet.

Competitive Pricing

Optimum Online's internet plans are competitively priced compared to top service providers in the industry. They also offer bundling deals for customers who want to bundle their internet plan with their cable TV or phone plans. Here's a breakdown of what they have to offer for internet:

  • Altice Advantage Internet — $14.99 per month, 30 Mbps (eligibility requirements)
  • Optimum 10 — $24.95 per month, 10 Mbps
  • Optimum 20 — $29.99 per month, 20 Mbps
  • Optimum Online — $64.95 per month, 100 Mbps
  • Optimum 200 — +$20 per month, 200 Mbps
  • Optimum 300 — +$55 per month, 300 Mbps
  • Optimum 400 — +$55 per month, 400 Mbps

Customers can also rent a modem for $10 per month. If you lease a modem on an Optimum Online plan, you can get the Smart Router for free.

The "Smart Router"

Instead of a regular old run-of-the-mill router, Optimum Online offers its customers a "Smart Router." The Smart Router is quick and easy to set up and offers top-of-the-line security. Additionally, the Smart Router will automatically update itself to ensure that it is always running the latest technology. If customers run into any issues with their Smart Router, they can call Optimum Online's 24/7 helpline and speak to a trained technician.

The Bad

  • No Plan Smaller than 200 Mbps
  • Additional Fees
  • Lack of Transparency

No Plan Smaller than 200 Mbps

While this may be a benefit to avid internet users, Optimum Online offers a 200 mbps download speed as its lowest plan. For customers who don't use several devices at once, Optimum doesn't offer afforable options with lower upload and download speeds. Optimum Online could improve by expanding their plan options.

Additional Fees

Optimum Online charges installation and early termination fees, which are not uncommon for internet service providers. However, this means the base monthly price isn't an accurate representation of the total cost to the consumer. Here are a breakdown of the fees:

  • Standard installation fee — $99
  • Premium installation fee — $149.99
  • Restore service fee — $10 for 2 or less products, $15 for 3
  • Modem rental fee — $10 per month
  • Network enhance fee — $3.50

Lack of Transparency

It is unclear which states are currently serviced by Optimum Online. Without this information it is difficult for customers who are seeking an internet provider. They may decide that Optimum would be a great service provider but find out at the last moment that their area is not within Optimum's service range.

gavel

The Bottom Line

When it comes down to it, Optimum Online offers quick upload speeds and a helpful Smart Router. However, the company is not transparent and its packages are relatively expensive. Customers who live in the company's service area and are interested in fast speeds may be interested in Optimum Online, while price-conscious customers may have better luck with another provider.

I would give them no star if possible. I had an installation appointment made and the confirmation email said to pay $29.99 fee before installation takes place. I've paid the fee at 9 am on the day of installation whereas my installation was scheduled from 2 to 5 pm EST. I have waited for 4 hours and no technician came. No communication whatsoever from the company. After 4 hours of waiting, I have called Optimum and spoke to 3 different representatives the last one being their supervisor and no one knows why their technician did not show up. One lame excuse i was given that their system was not updated to reflect the payment made. I've tried to escalate this issue to a higher supervisor and was told they don't call back their customers. This is a non-existent customer service of Optimum Online.

Optimum (a.k.a. Cablevision/Altice) is a criminal organization whose only purpose is to scam and aggravate customers with throttled speeds, daily outages and nonexistent customer service. Their prices go up while your connection speeds will go down (many times to zero). As working remotely became the norm for many of us, these scammers are constantly jeopardizing our livelihoods with their crippled, subpar service. Their socalled customer service is almost nonexistent. If you call them, you will either be left on hold for hours, or connected to a rude, non knowledgable CS agent who, in the end, will not help you solve your problem. They will insist on scheduling an unnecessary visit, and the technician will not arrive at the stipulated date and time. If you are lucky and they decide to show up, you will still be left with your issue unresolved. I have the misfortune of not having other options available in my area, otherwise I'd have dropped Optimum several years ago. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Zero consideration for their paying customers.

One of the worst experiences. I signed Up for internet access in mid Nov 2021 and have experienced at least 10-15 drops in service per day. Multiple techs have visited my apt to say that my in home setup is working but that there is an issue with the external wiring outside of my apartment building. They were supposed to schedule a visit from an external tech to look at the external wiring but that has nit happened. I called support and now have another tech coming to visit my apt to check my internal setup and then will need to schedule an external tech. This is completely ridiculous and I would completely stay away from Altice. They literally give you the run around. I plan to leave the service and go to another provider asap. All who are having issues should do the same because they are just going to continue to bill you monthly and not resolve any issues

Terrific experience! 3weeks my box isn't working, they promised they will come change the box, yet I couldn't get to see any technician. Was given an appointment between 10am -8pm, I called out from my two jobs just to wait for the technician that never showed up with no calls, no excuses. Each time I tried calling the self service, it's similar stress and same stories.. Optimum specially make their customers seevice calling line process to be technical and not customer friendly to discourage you from calling the customer service. This network has the worst customer service and the most terrific customer relations I have ever witnessed in United States. I will recommend to the company to hire more customer service to deal with the customer service issues and get enough technicians to deal with the problems across your network. I am sick and feel terrible.

0 Stars. I scheduled an appointment to add a new box, I stayed at home all day long, no one came or called. I contacted Optimum and they said appointment was cancelled, and they can scheduled another appointment but I will be charged $59.99, or if I want to have the box delivered a week after and do it myself. I still don't believe the kind of service they are offering. The worst service in all areas. They cancel appointments themselves so customers call back and pay for everything, they charge for checking the router, they charge for changing their old equipment, they charge to fix the bad service they are giving. Burglars. Terrible service, no more Optimum.

Unfortunately, Optimum has a monopoly on several parts of Long Island. That is why it gets away with putrid, overpriced services. Some examples: 1. The connection speed slows down to a trickle every evening. 2. Optimum charges much more than its competitors (where it competes), for worse service. 3. Optimum unilaterally changed my fixed phone number. They did not ask for mi permission to do so. They never even informed me. 4. Optimum will swamp your Inbox with ads for more expensive services. However, it will neglect to send a single email to remind you if your account is past due, so it can hit you with a cool $15 reconnection fee. Isn't it charming? 5. Optimum's "customer service" reps are really rude. They won't even offer the fake "I am sorry you feel screwed" apologies other crappy companies do. If Optimum is not the only ISP in your area, switch. If it is, consider moving.

I unfortunately had this Internet service. Such terrible customer service. When i moved, I called multiple times to cancel the internet service and they said they have my account set up for cancellation. And i even confirmed if it was cancelled and the customer service said yes. A month later i get a bill from them and when i call in - everyone says different things. And when i asked them to check the records that i put in a request to get my account cancelled - he says i dont see any. They are lousy people who cant even get their job right and just waste your money. And they will transfer your call 4-5 times and end up disconnecting the call. Their internet service is very slow as well and they increase rates every once in a while without a notice. 77$ for basic internet. Really ? Please get some other service because Optimum service is not at all worth it.

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! This company should be sued for how the handle customer service and the fees they charge. My wifi hasn't been working for over a month and they have sent technicians to my home numerous times each week to try and fix it. Turns out its their cheap equipment that doesn't work - I finally went and bought my own router at Best Buy and now my service works. When I talked to optimum and ask them to refund me for the lack of service and countless technician appointments they say they cannot refund/comp this as it was "my equipment issue and not theres..." so when I state that it was an OPTIMUM ROUTER that was brought to my home by an OPTIMUM TECHNICIAN from the OPTIMUM COMPANY they say that it technically is not theirs once it is installed into your home regardless of them being the ones to give it to you and install it in your home. Waiting for the day another service provider enters my neighborhood - as Im sure many others included will be jumping ship from Optimum and avoiding it like the plague.

This company sucks! So I call in on the 2nd to get internet service and I get that set. I am to start annoyed they require first month’s payment plus installation. I am not getting service till the 15th and have to pay for a full month of service before it’s installed. Then I keep looking at emails and see “free installation “ so I click on the link and it says my location qualifies. So I call and try and cancel my service that I had over the phone because I want this free installation. I order the online free installation today and call in and hear that it’s not free! It’s all a scam! Here is the real secret to the company. It costs $120 to put in new service for like a new home. So they say “ free installation” because the location has had optimum in it before. But when u sign up online you have to call I. To confirm your appointment. Then they charge the $59 installation anyways! Over the phone or online you will pay $59 for installation! Nothing is free! This “ free installation” is a complete scam! Now I am waiting for a call back to reschedule my installation date that I canceled! They could of told me on the phone instead of me going through all this crap! This company sucks! I am very unhappy with them!

It hurts me to hear those people talking about how they are keeping people connected during the pandemic. I always pay my bill on time but the 2nd month after the CoViD19 starts hurting the country, I logged into to pay my monthly payment, a little late duh since I've been out of work for more than a month, but realized that they have added a $10 late fee on my bill, when I call customer service and ask if they can remove that $10, the lady told me, if I can't pay my internet, I should let her know right away and she will be happy to cancel my service. I normally don't right silly reviews knowing how much that can hurt a company but I was outraged by the answer that I have received just because I asked for the late fee to be removed. theses people are sick in the head

If I could rate them zero stars I would. Optimum has been consistently disappointing. A few weeks ago a storm cause the electric to go out, which caused our Wifi to go out with it. Firstly, we are in a pandemic and everything is online. We need our wifi. Both my sons have online classes, and my husband and I both work from home. All of this is done online. The first issue we ran into was when we made an appointment for it to be fixed and no one showed up that day. When we waited on the phone for several hours waiting to get into contact with someone, they had the wrong date. Second appointment, no one showed up again. According to Optimum, they came to our house, called our landline (which doesn't work because WE DON'T HAVE WIFI) and then when no one answered the phone, they left. Keep in mind no one in my family saw them outside of our house, so I believe this is likely a lie. Even if it isn't a lie, you would think they would have at least knocked on our front door before leaving, or would have known not to call the landline because again, WE DON'T HAVE WIFI. Third problem we ran into was that we scheduled a third appointment and they again did not show up. If we don't work, we don't get paid, and unfortunately we cannot work without WIFI. Terrible terrible service. Causing us a lot of stress and loss of money.

I absolutely hate this company. They have the WORST customer service and terrible internet service. It's unfortunately the only provider in my area or I would switch in a heartbeat. I will definitely be moving into another area in the future that I have an option for any other provider besides optimum - this is how much I despise them .. service provider will have a huge impact on where I move to next! The internet service has always sucked and still does. I upgraded from 200mbps to 300mbps thinking that would help solve the issue. Well, it did not and I have proof of speed tests to show I wasn't even receiving over 100mbps when I was paying for 300mbps!! This happened in August-October 2019 and I have called Optimum 5-10 times since then to be credited on my account. Each time I call, I am told that the customer service rep cannot credit my account and I'll have to receive a call back from a "supervisor." I have NEVER received a call from a "supervisor" even though I have called numerous times to speak to one. Pretty sure they do not have any supervisors and if they do, they should be ashamed of themselves for this terrible customer service. I tried online chat and the rep immediately ended our conversation after my complaint. I also tried to submit credit through online service and it was immediately denied. I am going to go through my credit card next and dispute the charge for a partial credit that I DESERVE since I was paying for a service I was not receiving. If you have the option to have ANY OTHER service provider for phone, internet or cable, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and choose literally ANY other company. I hope this company goes out of business SOON. The reviews speak for themselves and this awful company should be ashamed of themselves for the fact that they have a terrible rating.

Avoid this company like the plague! Probably the worst and most dysfunctional customer service I've ever encountered in my life. We went to return the equipment last month after we disconnected our service. The line was so long, it started about 10 yards on the sidewalk outside the store. We stood in the cold for one and a half hours, just to return the equipment! They promised to refund us within 10 days for the returned equipment. It's been a month now, and no refund yet! And don't even bother calling customer service. We called them 3 times already, and all they do is tell you more lies and give you more empty promises. We're considering filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau and State Consumer Protection Agency to expose the scam and rip-off this company is engaging in. DON'T BUY OPTIMUM!!!

I had Spectrum before , used my own modem and router for just internet service and I never had an issue. I moved to Brooklyn , NY into a building where Optimum is the only internet provider, well I did not have any other choices than going with them for internet service for the same amount of money and speed I had with Spectrum. Let me tell you guys: - They want their customers to exclusively use their equipment ( rent their modem...), thus they will sabotage your internet service every now and then and blame your own equipment for their failure. - Every time I call their customer service, they will tell me that they cannot troubleshoot an equipment that is not there, I have to rent the optimun modem and if I insist that my modem does not have a problem, they will try to convince me to have a technician come to my place to check the issue but it will be at my own pocket $200.00 for the visit. I directly connected my laptop to my modem using the Ethernet and still not internet. I told their rep that I never had these types of issues when I was with Spectrum , it is only with them every now and them, after I say that, the rep will do something on their end and my internet will magically start to work again. My boyfriend switched his internet from Verizon Fios to Optimum just to get the Amazon gift card, now he regrets it as his internet is slow and very spotty for streaming. I wish I have the choice to switch to Spectrum or Verizon because OPTIMUM is not good at all.

So apparently not being able to send emails and having an upload speed of 0 is acceptable? I have been having problems with my internet service for over a month and all they did was credit my account $8. I had a total of 6 technician appointments. 2 of those were total no shows, no call, nothing. 4 of those were technicians who couldn't solve the problem. I work from home so not having the ability to send emails is completely unacceptable. The amount of disrespect that I've received from them is ridiculous. When I went to cancel my services, the woman said I can offer you a $100 credit- $50 on your bill this month and $50 on your bill next month. She said that an $8 credit was insulting. Funny how when you go to cancel your services they then want to make it right. Ended up denying the credit because the last thing I want to do is be an optimum customer.

The only reason I am with them is because they are the sole provider in my area. Sales rep and technician gave contradicting information & forced me to pay more due to technicalities. Technician says my personal modem was not compatible, ended up being a lie and I had to pay for installation fee anyways, even though I had to set up my own modem afterwards. Then I was forced to spend an entire Saturday waiting in line to return their modem in store. Everyone in the store was upset at their service like I was. Reps were sitting behind bullet proof glass as if customers were prisoners trying to revolt. Called customer service to report and have been given the run around for 2 weeks now. Customer service did not want to deal with this issue of me being lied to and charged for something I did not need. I have been constantly told that their "supervisor will you give a call back"

OPTIMUM IS A SCAM! All they ever do is play with your service even if your connection strength is strong and usage is minimal! I cut my service off for this reason and they ended up calling me back after about 2 or 3 weeks offering me a deal that is NOT offered to the public. As i was fed up with them but this was a very strong attempt of customer service i accepted their offer which was 200mbps for $40 a month, including the $10 discount for having my own modem. Guess what when the technician came to set it up he told me with the new higher speed my modem wasn't good enough so i had to buy another one from optimum's arris website! I went ahead and did that. For months on end i had no issues whatsoever, 200mbps for just me, one person alone. All of a sudden the internet connection gets faulty after months of no problem! I called them and told them i'm done playing games either they will stop messing around with my connection or i will cancel and they decided to try giving me the run-arounds of "trouble-shooting" anyway and even had the audacity to attempt to set up a service call for $80 which would only be waived if the their technician came and decided the problem came from their end. I don't know WHO they thought they were fooling with that one. I'm sure other people have gotten those under the table deals that aren't offered to the public and if not, feel free to try it. Cut off your service and make it clear that 1] your fed up with their games and 2] you are dead serious you want nothing to do with them and will be boycotting them and letting other people know about the games they play with your money/service.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! They delivered a router with a faulty power cord. Which only works if you position it in a perfect position and if you touch it it turns off. Called 4 times to finally be able to schedule an appointment which they never showed up. Then was told rudely they couldn't do anything. Now I have to disconnect the router, which we are all using to work from home, to go get a new cord. Very unhappy with the services or customer service. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with and gives you crappy "new" equipment. Don't use them!

My experience has been nightmarish. Beginning with having a billing dispute over terminated service because I had a house fire and wasn't living in my home for four months & was continued being charged for service. To have that take me over 8 months and hundreds of hours to settle. One year later they raised my rate over 20%, just as the pandemic went into full swing. It Just took me over 2 hours to get my service canceled. In short, their customer service is horrendous.

They charge way too much for a simple basic internet service. The service itself is consistently slow and most of the time I don't even bother connecting my phone to it. Luckily I have an unlimited data plan with tmobile and I'm able to use the internet when I can't connect. It has been 4 days now without internet and I have been on hold for over 45 minutes as we speak. Absolutely terrible service but unfortunately they are the only option where we live. They should be embarrassed as their lack of customer service skills, their slow service, and their horrendous prices.

Optimum has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. It took over 5 days to get in touch with a person to install internet and then the next available appointment was in 4 more days. This is unacceptable. When called each time there is a hold for over an hour or the system automatically disconnects due to "an unusually high call volume". Optimum clearly does not care about their customers just the bottom line and is clearly only still in business because they do not have any major competitors in the market.

Beware of all the extra fees, they nickel and dime you where ever they can. In the last year they increased the cable box fee, added a modem fee, increased the modem fee, and added a late fee now. If you are one day past the due date you will get a late fee for service you have yet to receive as you are paying for the upcoming month. This is of course only in the last year. I am currently paying $75 a month for their slowest internet speed.
