Optimum internet features
Optimum has two types of internet: Optimum fiber and Optimum cable internet.
If your neighborhood has Optimum fiber coverage, you’ll get Optimum’s best download speeds up. Fiber internet also comes with equal upload and download speeds, so you’ll have zero wait times during video calls or Google Drive transfer sessions.
If your house gets only Optimum cable internet, you’ll still have fast internet speeds that’ll be more than enough for your entire household.
Optimum internet plans come with benefits beyond fast download speeds. Let’s break down a few of Optimum’s best features.
No contracts
Get internet on your terms with Optimum’s no-contract internet service.
If you need to cancel service at any time, you won’t be hit with expensive early termination fees.
Optimum Wi-Fi hotspots
If you need internet access while you’re out and about, Optimum’s nationwide Wi-Fi Hotspot network has you covered.
Optimum internet subscribers get free access to more than two million Optimum Wi-Fi access points in locations like parks and coffee shops.
No data caps
Stream 4K video and download games to your heart’s content thanks to Optimum’s unlimited data policy.
With an Optimum internet plan, you won’t have to worry about hitting your data cap and dealing with expensive overage fees if your family uses too much internet for the month. Optimum fiber and cable internet customers can download and upload files without having to constantly monitor their data usage.
Internet security
Protect your home internet from phishing, hackers, and online threats with Optimum’s McAfee-powered internet security tools.
Get a free Optimum Gateway 6 modem/router
Optimum fiber and cable internet plans come with a free Gateway 6 combo modem/Wi-Fi router. Once you install the Gateway 6, your home will have an Optimum Wi-Fi network that’s ready for any TVs, smartphones, or computers.
If your home struggles with Wi-Fi dead zones, you can also get a free Optimum Wi-Fi extender. Wi-Fi extenders improve your Wi-Fi router’s coverage, and they’ll work best if you have a large multi-story home.
See what the CableTV.com editors think of Optimum internet
In our opinion, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal than Optimum internet, especially one without contracts, data caps, or early termination fees.
For those considering Optimum, particularly in fiber areas, the service promises symmetrical upload and download speeds, enhancing activities like video conferencing.
But it’s worth noting that customer satisfaction is a concern, as Optimum has scored relatively low in that area despite its high marks for affordability and features.
In our annual Internet Customer Satisfaction Survey, customers relayed that Optimum shines in providing great value and solid features, scoring 4.40 and 4.00, respectively. Yet, it struggles with reliability and customer satisfaction, which received lower scores.
All that said, if you have any of our Editor’s Choice Award winners, like GFiber or AT&T, in your area, we say skip Optimum and get a higher-quality plan.
Pros
- Affordable internet plans
- Unlimited data
- No contracts
Cons
- Lower customer satisfaction
- Limited availability
