Optimum uses a combination of fiber-optic and hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks to deliver broadband services. Data travels over fiber lines for most of the journey and switches to coaxial lines for shorter distances in neighborhoods.
Like other cable networks, Optimum’s speeds can be affected during peak usage hours when multiple households share bandwidth. This is especially noticeable in the evenings when more people are streaming video services.
Optimum serves a large number of households across several states. Check availability by entering your ZIP code on Optimum’s website.
Optimum Internet plans start at around $30 per month for the first year for download speeds up to 500 Mbps (wireless speeds may vary).
