A Wanaque, NJ Customer

Optimum Cable

4 of 5 stars June 06, 2026

Our internet provider does give us consistent service and high speeds. It's Optimum, and I am happy with that aspect of the company. They are also our cable company, and that aspect of the company has changed for the worse. Prices are climbing but we get poorer service. They are closing local stores and pushing cell phone plans on us instead of fixing our issues. So I have a mixed feeling about the company overall, but the internet service has been solid and reliable.

A Rocky Point, NY Customer

Optimum Fiber

2 of 5 stars June 05, 2026

I live in an area where there is really only one internet provider- optimum. This has allowed them to keep prices high, as they know we don’t have another option. The internet is very slow, where my computer has difficulty running a zoom meeting with an internet browser window open. This is very problematic given I work at home sometimes. I don’t even live in a remote area (downstate NY) so the poor service doesn’t make sense. When I call for customer service, they just keep trying to get us to upgrade our internet. I have one of the medium level plans, which should be plenty (I don’t run high speed games or complex programming).
