I had Optimum internet and with a promotion I was paying $40/month for 300mbps. Several days before I moved I called to check for service and speeds at the new address. I was told Optimum internet was available and it looked like my current speed was as well. Sales agent told me I could simply transfer my account to the new address and nothing with my speed and charges would change. So I agreed to stay with Optimum. However...the next day I received an email stating my speed would be 100mbps and the charge would be $60/month. I immediately called about the situation and was told nothing could be done until the new service was connected. Then I could call back and they would adjust my speed and charges. So, wait a week to have service installed and then see if they will honor what I was told! What could go wrong? And, btw, they prematurely cancelled my internet at my current address. So, several days later my internet was connected at the new address. While the technician was still in the house I did a speed test. 300mbps and was seen by the tech. But before he even got out of my driveway Optimum rebooted my modem and when it came back online I was getting about 80mbps. I called and after many, many, very infuriating minutes with the automated answering service I was able to talk to a human. I should have just stuck with the automated answering guy. I was told 300 was not available in my area but she would gladly increase me to 150mbps...for an additional $20. So now I've got half the speed, 150mbps, for twice the price, $80. WHAT A DEAL!!!! So, do yourself a favor and steer clear of Optimum because their name clearly does not describe their service! And don't believe a word they tell you. read more
