Optimum Hits 500,000 Milestone in Fiber Internet Customers: A Testament to Commitment and Community
Optimum, a brand under Altice USA, recently celebrated a significant achievement: the addition of its 500,000th residential customer to its 100% Fiber Internet network. This milestone comes at a time when Optimum is actively expanding its services throughout its expansive footprint in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, where over 2.9 million homes are now within reach of its advanced fiber offering.
With capabilities to deliver symmetrical multi-gigabit speeds of up to 8 Gig, Optimum Fiber is providing not just internet access but also mobile, television, and home phone services. This comprehensive connectivity is a boon for both individual customers and businesses alike, highlighting the importance of reliable technology in our everyday lives.
Notably, this achievement is backed by substantial investments; Optimum has dedicated over $40 million toward enhancing its fiber network on Long Island in 2024 alone. This commitment underscores a broader trend of multi-million-dollar investments aimed at improving the internet infrastructure across the Northeast. Optimum’s upgrading efforts have not gone unnoticed. Recognized by third-party sources like Ookla® Speedtest® and PCMag, the provider is lauded for offering the fastest and most reliable internet in both New York and New Jersey.
The expansion doesn’t end there. New markets are on the horizon as Optimum Fiber extends its reach into key communities, including Montclair and West Orange, as well as further throughout the New York tri-state area. Dennis Mathew, Chairman and CEO of Optimum, noted, "We have been doubling down on the acceleration of our 100% Fiber Internet network deployment… Today’s milestone is a testament to the progress we have been working towards."
This bold commitment to improving community connectivity can be seen through a broader lens of community service and stewardship—principles emphasized throughout the Bible. In Galatians 6:9, it is written, “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Optimum’s determination to enhance its services reflects a commitment not just to profit but to potential—empowering communities through technology and connectivity.
As we reflect on Optimum’s achievement, it serves as a reminder of the positive impact of diligent work and investment in our communities. Whether through technology or acts of kindness, fostering connections can yield significant benefits. Let this be an encouragement to all of us—to continue striving for improvement and supporting one another, in both our personal and communal lives. In doing so, we echo the values of patience, perseverance, and service that enrich not just our lives but also those around us.
