June 08, 2023 My experience with formally Suddenlink, now Optimum has been mostly positive one. The installers were here on time, performed the job quickly and the service has been pretty good since. My only issue with the service is that despite advertising 1 gigabit download speeds, I get nowhere near that even with a direct ethernet connection to the router. I may get 300 megabits. This of course is plenty of data to serve my large family on various devices all at the same time, but I believe it is disingenuous to advertise 1G when you can't even get half that. I am not the only one either. No one I know in this area gets anything close to a 1G transfer rate. The connection can be unreliable at times and sometimes requires a reboot of the router. I have recently considered changing to fiber since I am told that the connection is far more stable and reliable. Overall though I cannot really complain as I am "locked in" to a $69.00 "for life" plan for this internet service. Not really bad even considering the negatives.
