Internet goes out every time it is… Internet goes out every time it is cold. When calling their non-existent "customer service", only advice is to restart the modem, which I already did 10 times, and which does nothing. The third time, they finally made a service appointment...in 7 days. That did it. after 3 years of suffering from slow, unreliable service (1G is really about 150 MBs), switched to a slightly more expensive fiberoptic competitor, installed in 2 days. Finally, useable internet...something Optimum will not provide. Optimum is a racket, class action needed.

If there was negative stars I would use… If there was negative stars I would use that. My 91 yr old mother called to get 500 mbps internet service and was duped into a 1 gig internet and mobile plan - she needed neither and the salesperson completely took advantage of her. I called and emailed multiple times and they still charged her and went so far as to schedule an installation. After being transferred several times, I was transferred to a very helpful gentleman named William in redemptions who was able (I hope) to cancel the service. Now I am being told the refund will take 45 days. This is a complete scam- they charged her card within minutes of the initial call and even though I called and she called to cancel within 90 minutes. I am going to petition her retirement facility to switch away from Optimum asap and move to a more reputable company that doesn't prey on senior citizens.

I have had the worst customer service… I have had the worst customer service I've ever received. After 6 weeks of answering the same questions over and over, receiving assurance that my service had been repaired. Sending me to Samsung who remotely evaluated my phone to be fine. They finally decided that the problem was with the service of my callers and I should tell them they needed to get service with their provider. Last straw was following directions of their tech left me with 2 phones that wouldn't work. After a few days of working things out I finally transferred to STRAIGHT TALK 3 days into my service period. My final bill is covering another 26 days of service. In fact I hadn't had service for the previous 6 weeks, however that is policy and CAN'T be adjusted. Just one last frustrating interaction with this inadequate and incapable company.

Terrible Cell Phone Service, Great Wi-Fi The service at the location was great, but the service from the Optimum Cell Phone is horrible. I was offered a package deal on cell phone service when I purchased the Optimum Wi-fi. Being retired the $15 per month I would save by switching from Pure Talk to Optimum phone service sounded like a good deal - $10 off wi-fi and $5 off cell phone service. This, even though I was only getting 1 gig with Optimum whereas I has 2 Gigs with Pure Talk which gave me 5 star service. Bad mistake. Just a few things about Optimum: No ringing when I make a call, just silence until someone answers or a voicemail message. I called Optimum and also went by their office. Neither could do anything about it. No icon letting me know if I have VM. When I call VM, the first thing is to enter my passcode which is not easy to do. I have to hit the numbers just right or I get the same instructions over and over until I hang up, because if you miss it the first time, you get no more chances to get it right. If and when I get it right, a long message follows. Then the VM. Then a long message on all the options. Again, hitting an option number sometimes will never work. There are some more problems with VM. Also, when I get a VM followed by options (as to listen to the VM, delete and redo, etc.), it does not respond to my option, just keeps repeating until I hang up. I do not believe I can do a conference call. It was easy with Pure Talk, but I find no way to do a conference call with Optimum. Etc. To sum it up, the cell phone service is terrible. However, the wi-fi is fantastic.

cancellation money grab Customers should know that when you are ready to cancel your service make sure you do it a day BEFORE the end of you billing cycle. If you cance even one day after the new billing cycle begins, you’ll be charged for an entire month, even if you return all your equipment and you have a receipt to prove it. They charged me an additional $200 AFTER my service was canceled.
