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.

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.

When using Zoom there will be at least two occasions of freeze up during a one hour meeting. Some pixelation when watching streaming service.

After the first year, the price went back to the original price and start charging fees for modern. They ask me to get a phone line to get a bundle deal right away during the conversation. They answer my questions, but they don’t provide any document or web page for the details of what you are going to get. Feel being pushed. The connection is…

Customer service is terrible. Trying to reach them using their voice menu is maddening. Expensive, and they keep raising their prices. They badly need competition.

Terrible service! Optimum cut off my internet without any prior notice. They had me all day chasing them in circles, promising to reconnect me, and at the end they said it wasn’t their problem, it was “billing’s issue”. Today they were supposed to reconnect and now they won’t even answer my calls. They see it’s my number and ignore me. They don’t even deserve…

Poor customer service and speed quality. The last guy I talked too literally tried to start a fight with me. I tried to cancel and he started being condescending and trying to sell me stuff. I only requested cancelation I was put on hold 3 times. I had to say if this continues I will contact attorney. Very unprofessional tier 2.

Customer service is terrible. Went to sign up for service two different times at two different places and was ignored at each one even with an appointment. Don’t bother making an appointment, they will not honor it.
