OptimumReviews 

Such a bad provider. Customer Reps lies repeatedly.Had to call them 3 times to discontinue service.Every single time CR confirms confirmed disconnection but every single CR had to do it 3 times.Meaning every one of them lied. Asked them to disconnect from July 1 but they did not.Just a crappy provider to ignore at all cost.

Optimum has the WORST internet that I've ever experienced. I've been in a third-world country, and Optimum makes the internet there light-speed in comparison. I work from home and it keeps dropping me from my meetings. It's so spotty and inconsistent that it would literally just stop working at random times. Don't even think about gaming. Unfortunately, they have a contract with our development, meaning we have no choice but to endure this bullshit.

Hello,I had an issue with my stream box and the guy came out name Tony he was very great with fixing the issue .I would recommend him to come fix any problem u may have in the future!!!!

Everything listed in the above is 100% true! It took me over 40 minutes to cancel my service. Stay far away from these guys!!!

Switched to Optimum mobile after being promised an excellent promotional deal ($20/line for 18 months and $600 in trade-in credits). Once my numbers were ported over, their customer care team refused to honor virtually every single incentive used to get me to switch.

After endless phone calls and escalations, they only offered a tiny fraction of what was originally agreed upon. Classic bait-and-switch tactics. This was my first experience with Optimum and it will definitely be my last. Misleading, dishonest, and completely frustrating.

AVOID like the plague

I had a very disappointing experience canceling my service. Before canceling, I specifically asked whether I would owe for another month, and the representative assured me I had made the cutoff and would not be charged. Based on that information, I proceeded with the cancellation.

To my surprise, I was later billed for an additional month. When I called to dispute the charge, the company refused to honor what their representative had told me. Instead, they simply pointed to their policy and took no responsibility for providing inaccurate information.

Mistakes happen, but what matters is how a company handles them. In this case, there was no accountability and no effort to make things right. If you choose this provider, make sure you get everything in writing because you may not be able to rely on what you’re told over the phone.

Optimum is absolutely the worst company period. I just wasted over 30 minutes trying to tell them I don’t ever want their service. I told them if it was free I would not want it. Their retention team are basically hired harassers. I told them in every way I could I would never use their service. They kept putting me on hold and then the harassment would start again. There should be some laws against this tatic. Of course I don’t want even waste time discussing the money lost waiting for them to never come and install a fiber network. . Don’t use them no matter what freebies they offer. I have had their 37 years too long. I never write reviews because I don’t have time. They are that bad

Trying to access customer service in general or cancel my service with Optimum has been an absolute nightmare. You cannot get a person to speak to until you use the word "disconnect" Then their disconnection process is predatory. Instead of processing my request to cancel, the agents subjected me to incredibly aggressive marketing tactics and relentless upselling.Every time I stated that I just wanted to disconnect, they ignored my request and tried to push new promotions, bundles, or mobile plans on me. It is incredibly frustrating to be held hostage on a call just to stop paying for a service. They make it intentionally difficult to leave, showing zero respect for the customer's time or boundaries. It took two tries and 37 minutes on the phone to cancel. If you are considering Optimum, be warned: they will make your life miserable when you try to cancel.

I switched to Optimum mobile because I have their internet and I figured they're on the T-Mobile network save myself some money. Huge mistake. For the amount of frustration on The Daily that I get from lack of service it is not worth the money saved. It's about $15 a month I save and I can tell you I have decent service maybe once or twice a week. For our company who is almost a monopoly on Long Island running their wires all throughout Suffolk and Nassau and they're on the T-Mobile network somehow has the worst service I've ever had and I have had AT&T T-Mobile mint visible through Verizon and Boost Mobile and none of them have been this bad. The service is absolutely terrible. There are way too many dead zones. I understand it's 30 bucks a month but I seriously barely get service. I definitely do not recommend

I have had the worst experience I have ever had with optimum Mobil. We have been a faithful always paid our bill on time customer for several years now. We wanted to discontinue our service and go with our starkink because it is better internet service. Optimum is always going out. We called and they offered us a “Permotion” And got my husband con’d into getting the Mobil service and then lied about the promotion. So now we are stuck paying for mobile service that we wanted to discontinue AND “ CANT” Becausr their can’t speak English people got him on a 3 year contract!!!! Don’t fall for their permotions!!! They are con artist tbat all have rude customer service!!! I’m not ever going with optimum again S soon as his contract is up we are gone !!! And if I was anyone I wouldn’t go with them either”THEY SUCK”!!!!!

Why is Optimum aloud to monopolize areas in New Jersey? Years back I had Verizon internet now, for some odd reason, Optimum is the only supplier for cable and fiber internet. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? I have no other choices!!!

Went through 6 agents to get my problem fixed
Do not use the chat system

I have been an Optimum customer for over 5 years, and their home internet service has been extremely disappointing. The service is often slow, lagging, or completely down, and when you need help, you'd better plan on spending at least 30 minutes on the phone with little to nothing resolved.

Today was a perfect example. The cable from the utility pole appeared to snap and fall down, which caused my internet to disconnect. I explained this clearly to the agent, but instead of listening to the actual issue, she insisted I go through the basic modem reset steps. Resetting a modem does not fix a snapped or fallen cable.

To make matters worse, I explained that I have been paying $115 per month for 1 Gig internet while Optimum is advertising the same service online for $45 per month for new customers. I asked if there was any consideration they could offer for a loyal customer of more than 5 years. The response was simply, “No, cannot help you.”

Poor service, poor reliability, and poor customer support. I regret staying with Optimum this long and would not recommend them.

Pathetic ability to get an outside of my house broadband signal resolved. Any technical follow up calls to get any results runs me through a gauntlet of troubleshooting equipment inside my house. This has been done multiple times and a technician from Optimum has been to my house and verified that all in the house is fine and the signaled being delivered is a problem.

I pay for 1Gig of internet speed and I am receiving less than100Meg of speed!! My Neighbors are complaining as well. This has gone on for months!! Verizon or any other provider is blocked from being a provider.

optimum mobile lied about the price. promised 20$ per month for 5 year lock for internet 500mbps and 2 phone lines with first 3 months free. but charges 95$ initial fee and then 53$ every month.

I would give a zero if possible. Optimum is (in my opinion) a criminal enterprise. I switched to their cell and home service in Sept last year - by Dec it was STILL not working. 6 phone calls, 3 visits to the store, hundreds of wasted hours. Finally Dec. 1st I cancelled ALL my services with them: cell, home phone, internet and TV. I returned all of the equipment and they told me I had to pay for the two cell phones because they were only part of a 30 day promotion. Then they charged me 4 TIMES the price for them. I paid just to get them out of my life forever. But no! They keep billing me every month. I've called about a dozen times with no luck. They just keep billing me.

I called inn on June 8 to have my internet cancel, the agent said ok. And I have it all disconnected, new people have moved inn and a new company. I called optimum and this idiot agent said I will not cancel until July 8 and I have to pay for it.i am take this matter seriously. This company is shame to work with and customer service is pathetic where agents are arguing Instead of helping. Dude when I have service cancel that is day its over .my shit is not paying. Go to hell

One of the worst customer experiences I have ever had. My mobile account issue has still not been resolved after almost 4 months, despite multiple follow-ups and countless hours spent contacting support.

From incorrect bill generation to trade-in issues and shipping problems, there has been a problem at nearly every stage of the process. Instead of receiving solutions, I kept getting delays, inconsistent responses, and repeated requests to explain the same issue again and again.

What is most disappointing is the lack of ownership and accountability. A customer should not have to chase support for months to resolve issues that should have been handled properly from the beginning.

I expected better service and professionalism. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to carefully review all charges, documentation, and timelines before choosing this service.

I got a good deal at first About bundling the internet and phone
But after a year they will add service fees that wasn’t there when you started, and also the internet is mediocre. I am notified countless times 30 mins or more (late).

Extremely Frustrating Experience with Optimum Mobile

I am writing this review to warn other consumers about my experience with Optimum Mobile and to encourage the company to improve its customer service and activation process.

My original contact with Optimum was not to switch phone providers. I was trying to lower my internet bill, which had increased from approximately $35 per month to $65 per month. During an online chat with an Optimum representative, I was told that if I switched my mobile service to Optimum Mobile, my internet bill could be reduced to approximately $25 per month. I was offered three phone lines for $60 per month.

Based on that information, I agreed to move forward.

During the enrollment process, I provided the correct mailing address where the phones needed to be delivered and confirmed both my address and email multiple times. I was told the process would be completed before the end of the call. Instead, I was transferred to another representative and informed that activation could take up to 48 hours, which was completely different from what I had originally been told.

The problems continued from there.

The phone was shipped to the wrong address despite the information I provided. It was sent to a property in Zwolle rather than the address where I needed it delivered. Since I would not be at that location for several weeks, the shipment was essentially useless to me.

I later received emails and phone calls indicating it was time to transfer my phone lines. However, when I attempted to proceed, I was told the account still was not properly set up.

The activation process became an absolute nightmare.

I spent countless hours on the phone with customer service over multiple days. My phone repeatedly showed “SOS” mode with no cellular service. I was transferred from department to department numerous times and often had to start the entire explanation over again with each new representative.

During one particularly frustrating day, I spent nearly the entire day attempting to get my phone working. We deleted and reinstalled eSIMs multiple times, yet my phone remained without service.

What made the experience even worse was the customer service. After several transfers, I spoke with one representative whose attitude was extremely rude and unprofessional. As a business owner who works with customers every day, I have never experienced customer service that left me so frustrated and upset. By the end of the call, I was literally in tears.

Once I lost confidence in Optimum Mobile’s ability to resolve the problem, I repeatedly requested my port-out PIN so that I could return to my previous carrier. Instead of simply providing the information, I was continually encouraged to stay with Optimum and told that additional departments would need to review the issue. It took far longer than necessary to obtain the port-out PIN needed to transfer my number away from the company.

At that point, I genuinely feared that I might lose access to my phone number entirely.

Eventually, I was able to obtain the port-out PIN and move my service elsewhere.

This experience involved:
• Incorrect shipment of equipment
• Miscommunication regarding setup and activation
• Multiple failed eSIM activations
• Loss of phone service with repeated SOS status
• Excessive transfers between departments
• Long hold times and repeated calls
• Difficulty obtaining a port-out PIN
• Poor customer service and lack of accountability

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was one of the most frustrating interactions I have ever had with a telecommunications company. I cannot recommend Optimum Mobile based on my experience, and I hope this review helps other consumers make an informed decision before switching their service.
