    @jdmcel @AlticeUSA @OptimumHelp Done did that. Plus WiFi still works. My service is terminating the end of September though as we're switching to Fios cause Altice has sucked ***** for as long as we've had it. Just always random bullshit like this. The box is buggy as hell on its best days. Good riddance.

    One I get gift card I’m going back to @optimum . You can’t claim you’re 5G internet is good as cable when connection for smart home is terrible, mind you you’re gateway an on window sill with “excellent” signal.

  • JohnnyFNClash
    Johnny Clash (@JohnnyFNClash) reported

    Just called optimum to cancel my service and first “Dana” disconnected when I said I wanted to cancel. I called back and “Camille” laughed and hung up again. Disconnected by 5 different people. Do better @optimum. Hey @verizonfios👋

  • JeannineBSmith
    Jeannine Smith (@JeannineBSmith) reported

    Hey @optimum your internet service in Hot Springs Village, AR is terrible. I have had to reboot my modem about once per week since I started service in November. Know how many times I’ve had to reboot my Frontier modem in the last 3 years? Maybe twice 😡🤬 #optimumsucks

  • Flurpledur
    Flurpledur (@Flurpledur) reported

    13 total days (at least that I logged) We had unstable upload speeds, maybe even download. @optimum is LITERALLY the biggest scam I've ever seen. The fact that they are still in business is a ******* joke

  • Timmay7
    Tim (@Timmay7) reported

    @optimum get it right. I tried to change service and asked for my ss number. Then tried to cxl and was kept getting new sales ideas. Couldn’t speak to a manager. Get it right. @BarstoolBigCat

    @OptimumHelp @SeanOfKelly @optimum The only way the customers will be happy is putting mlb network back on the system. Stop with the statement that you pushed for a fair renewal.

    NJ Home Maintenance Services (@NJ_HMS) reported

    @optimum Almost a year later and our service is STILL not fixed. Meanwhile, we’re being billed in full every month for channels we can’t even watch. How is this acceptable? #Optimum #CustomerService #fail
