    I went into the store and had a conversation with the associate (Geraldo)…read more who is very friendly and customer oriented! After working out the kinks in my set up I left. Unfortunately, when I returned home, I had a few more questions for him. The problem is that there is no way to call back to the store directly. You have to get on the phone and talk with a new person and start all over again. This is a terrible process Jim M

    Optimum is one of the worst service providers I've ever had the displeasure of paying…read more When I first started using Optimum, it was my only option for internet service. I went in store and the employee there told me that I couldn't receive internet service without signing up for a phone plan. So for about a year and a half I've been forced into paying for a phone plan that's literally never been used. Despite calling and asking multiple times. Throughout my service, I've dealt with random outages and loss of service. Coupled with constantly having to call them to pay and being unable to create an account through their website for whatever reason. I'm finally able to switch internet providers and when I called to cancel my service, I was on the phone for an hour. During that hour, I was transferred to at least 4 separate employees who all made me verify my identity with my address, email, phone number, credit card number and a code texted to me. The last one insisted that I was not the account holder because he couldn't tell my gender via my voice and that an employee I spoke to prior made a note that I was a man. Despite this horrible customer service and the fact that I had been on the phone for an hour to cancel my service, he kept trying to convince me to keep my service for 5 months free as a "backup." In what world would I need a backup phone plan? Especially when I've had the phone line through Optimum for over a year and never once used it. Then he informed me I'm going to have to pay until I drop off my equipment in store. He could've offered a lifetime of free service and I still would've cancelled because under no circumstances would I pay a service that demands I tell them what is in my pants when I've verified my identity to 4 separate employees. I'd much rather pay 10 times the amount monthly in order to never deal with this company again. It's to the point where from now on, part of my prerequisites for moving is that the new place must be serviced by any other company than optimum. I'd honestly consider living without internet in my home before I ever come back to them for service. This is the only review I've ever left on yelp and that should only emphasize how horrific this company is.

    We have had Optimum for several years. There have been issues with the service but they are…read moreeventually worked out. It is the billing side that you need to be careful about. As usual at the end of the year there is a discussion about rates or changing carriers due to increases. It gets settled but seems to be needless aggravation every year. This time is different, After agreeing to a price for 2026 at the end of 2025, the company basically reneges and raises the rate in March. When I called, i was informed one of the line items had changed. If I wanted to have the lower rate, all I needed to do was downgrade my service. The suggestion to me was insulting.

    What a horrible experience with optimum. Called to get transfer pins to switch our service. I was…read moreon the phone for more than tso hours trying to get the pins. After the first guy ran through all his deals and I rejected them he transfers me to whoever gets you the pins we suddenly lose cell service. those pos's cancelled our service before i even got the pins, Vindictive $hit! Then I call back on a landline (because they shut off our service) the one i spoke to assured me that our service was still active (yeah right, so why did our phones magically start saying not register on a network and emergency calls only). Then won't transfer me to get the pins until I give her a reason that we are transferring our service. By this time I'm getting super angry, I ask for a supervisor after two minutes she comes back and says two more minutes. After two more minute gets back on and tells me there is none available, I hang up, she calls back says one will get back to me with 24 hours. i hang up again she calls back and asks if I still want to escalate it. I said no, I just want my pin. She then tells me that I have to give her a reason or she can't transfer me. So we went round and round about that, Finally I said because your customer service sucks. She wants to know why. WHY!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Then she won't transfer me without telling her the deal I'm getting. I told her that's really none of your business. Still won't transfer me. So I lied to her because as I said, none of your business. So I finally get to the magic man with the sought after pin numbers. He said the same, I have to give him a reason. I said, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Don't you people share information I've told no less than four people already. So he goes into salesman mode tries throwing all these deals at me. I told him after what I've been through with you people today you could make it free for life and I still wouldn't take it. Tries again, I said did you think I was kidding?. Says I have one last deals, you can say no and then I'll get you the pin. Told him I'll save us some time and say no now. And everyone I spoke with had an accent you could cut with a knife. Not being racist either, my wife is from the Philippines and has a heavy accent, tells me they out source their call centers.
