Fiber Internet 1 Gig and Premier TV ($154.99 a month, 420+ channels, 940 Mbps download and upload speeds) is an excellent deal for the price—especially if you have a large family with lots of gamers and TV streamers.

If you can’t get fiber where you live, the cable connection in Optimum 1 Gig and Premier TV ($184.99 a month, 420+ channels, 940 Mbps download speeds) will also handle the demanding activities of your megafam.

Both bundles come in triple-play versions with home phone service, as indicated in the table. Home phone adds only $10 a month to your plan.

Optimum bundles and pricing

Optimum has three types of bundles:

  • Internet and TV ($84.99–$184.99/mo.)
  • Internet and phone ($29.99–$89.99/mo.)
  • Internet, TV, and phone ($94.99–$194.99/mo.)

Let’s explore each bundle type individually.

Wired connection speeds. WiFi speeds may vary.

Optimum bundles come with 220–420+ channels and either cable or fiber connections (speeds up to 940 Mbps for both types) based on your location. For Optimum Internet, maximum download speeds are the same on both networks. But Optimum’s cable internet plans have slower upload speeds and may cost more, as indicated above.

If you’re lucky, you many live in one of the areas where Optimum cable internet costs the same as Optimum fiber internet.

But don’t let the higher price in some areas make you think living on Optimum’s cable network is all bad. Optimum’s cable internet beats out most of the competition, and it’s our pick for the best cable internet provider.

Hopefully you’re on Optimum’s fiber network, ‘cause the speeds and the prices are better.

The plans in the tables above are just a sampling of Optimum’s TV and internet plans. You can mix and match any internet speed with any channel lineup. For the step-by-step details on building your own TV and internet bundle, check out our Optimum TV review.

Do you already have TV service but still need internet and a home phone line? The next set of Optimum bundles may be what you seek.

Pro tip: Don’t fall for TV providers’ basic cable bundles with 50 or fewer channels—you might as well flush your money. There’s no reason to pay monthly for local channels and subchannels (which is all you get with basic TV plans) that you can get with a $30 over-the-air (OTA) antenna.

With Optimum’s cable and fiber bundles, the phone line—with unlimited calling to the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands—costs an additional $10 over the standalone internet packages. Compared to other providers, that’s about average.

But $59.99 for a 1 gig cable or fiber connection plus the phone line is a good deal. We’ve highlighted the best bundles in the table above. Or, if you don’t need that much internet speed, you can save $10–$20 a month by dropping down to one of the 300–500 Mbps bundles.

Similar to the internet and phone bundle, Optimum’s internet, TV, and phone bundles add ten bucks for the phone line. Our recommendations for these triple-play bundles are essentially the same as our internet-and-TV picks—but you’ll pay an extra $10 a month for Optimum’s unlimited calling plan.

Optimum bundle deals and promotions

We found a couple of Optimum deals: one for new customers and one for current customers. Advertised deals for established customers are rare, so good on Optimum for having one.

Optimum deals for current customers

Bundle Internet and TV: 300 Mbps internet, 220+ channels, and cloud DVR for $94.99/mo.* (for one year), plus a $200 Visa® Prepaid card.

Optimum deals for new customers

  • Pop-up deal: When you order online at Optimum.com, you may see a pop-up offering $10 off your first month, a $200 Visa® Prepaid card, and free installation. Terms apply.

The $200 Visa card could cover two months of our bundle recommendation, Optimum 500 and Core TV ($85 a month). Or you could buy yourself somethin’ nice.

Get HBO Max on Optimum

Optimum currently offers several free HBO Max deals if you sign up for an internet plan:

  • Get three free months of HBO Max with any Optimum 300 Mbps plan
  • Get six free months of HBO Max with any Optimum 500 Mbps plan
  • Get one free year of HBO Max with any Optimum 1 Gig plan

Final take: Are Optimum bundles worth it?

Optimum’s new bundles have no contracts, up to 420+ channels, up to 940 Mbps internet connections, and low prices—plus the famous Optimum contract buyout remains in effect. But Optimum’s pricey equipment, limited DVR storage, and high DVR fees really eat into the bundles’ value.

That said, medium-to-large families and internet power users will love having enough bandwidth to support heavy streaming and online gaming—but you can get that without bundling. Optimum’s standalone internet plans are a sweet deal, too, so get one of those and subscribe to a live TV streaming service on the side.

Or, if you’re all set for TV service but need a phone line, try any of Optimum’s internet-and-phone bundles with speeds of at least 300 Mbps. They’re a great value.
