    Optimum is one of the worst service providers I've ever had the displeasure of paying…read more When I first started using Optimum, it was my only option for internet service. I went in store and the employee there told me that I couldn't receive internet service without signing up for a phone plan. So for about a year and a half I've been forced into paying for a phone plan that's literally never been used. Despite calling and asking multiple times. Throughout my service, I've dealt with random outages and loss of service. Coupled with constantly having to call them to pay and being unable to create an account through their website for whatever reason. I'm finally able to switch internet providers and when I called to cancel my service, I was on the phone for an hour. During that hour, I was transferred to at least 4 separate employees who all made me verify my identity with my address, email, phone number, credit card number and a code texted to me. The last one insisted that I was not the account holder because he couldn't tell my gender via my voice and that an employee I spoke to prior made a note that I was a man. Despite this horrible customer service and the fact that I had been on the phone for an hour to cancel my service, he kept trying to convince me to keep my service for 5 months free as a "backup." In what world would I need a backup phone plan? Especially when I've had the phone line through Optimum for over a year and never once used it. Then he informed me I'm going to have to pay until I drop off my equipment in store. He could've offered a lifetime of free service and I still would've cancelled because under no circumstances would I pay a service that demands I tell them what is in my pants when I've verified my identity to 4 separate employees. I'd much rather pay 10 times the amount monthly in order to never deal with this company again. It's to the point where from now on, part of my prerequisites for moving is that the new place must be serviced by any other company than optimum. I'd honestly consider living without internet in my home before I ever come back to them for service. This is the only review I've ever left on yelp and that should only emphasize how horrific this company is.

They charged for services not received,…read morebill for service I never asked for and refuses to refund because it's not possible and I should have read the agreement. Also not possible to talk to someone in the UNITED STATES on the phone. Their specials are a scam and do not allow them to do direct payments from your account!!!

    Excellent customer service experience!…read more Worked with agent Ann David over the phone. She is knowledgeable, thorough and extremely patient (I ask a lot of questions!) I began the day prepared to cancel RCN service....i am happy to remain an RCN customer. Ann made what cou have been a frustrating experience into an easy one. I wish all customer service agents would be as dedicated and professional as Ann I was not asked to post a review

    As has been said before by many others, this company has bad customer service. Far worse than the…read moreservice is their dishonesty. Astound is a good name for these people. The low level customer service and the way the company bilks customers is astounding. They claim to be giving you a five (5) year price lock. In my case, two months later they change the name of your promotion to Promotion for Life. They say that this means that only the taxes can go up if they do, but not the price for the service in my case, $40.00 with $5.66 in taxes for a total of $45.66. Do not be fooled. All their promotions, regardless of names, can be renamed and repriced at any time. They actively promote Autobilling, which means they take the money directly out of your bank account each month. It is not worth getting a $5 reduction to have these crooks get access to your bank account. Once you provide them with your bank account number, they can help themselves to any amount. Prices with Astound change at the drop of a hat. They do this by claiming that your plan's name was changed. What this means is that they hiked the price. Am actively going to see if I can find a better deal elsewhere. These people are nasty and only interested in bilking customers. These are seasoned scam artists.

    Horrible wait time, but their customer service personnel tries their best. They have TODAY, one…read morewindow for non-payment issues, one window for Altice Mobile only, and one / two windows for payment only. Guess which line is the longest . They also have a security guard to divert people to the correct line. Despite long wait times, there is no " public " restroom. All their security cameras can verify this. Anyone that has been to this place can verify this. People getting rowdy as well, I guess that is why they need a security guard. ::edit:: this was a one star, but I bumped it up to three Literally after a minute of me posting the one star, two customer service representatives came out of no where to help the " non - payment issue " line. Their staff was helpful in addressing most issues that the people had. Listening to fellow customers and their horrible stories makes me think of the Optimum staff as psychiatrists. Granted this is customer service, no one will wait in line to speak to one if they did not have an issue.

    Please! Please! Please! If you live in the lower Westchester area, DO NOT TRANSFER TO THIS COMPANY!…read more I've transferred to them just three months ago, and my internet & service has been shutting down consistently every 3-4 days. I've logged several complaints from the week of installation, and they use the same pre-fabricated service speech "not to worry, we're going to resolve your problem today...." Nope!! It never corrected, even after they "escalate" your complaints. Then when it's temporarily fixed, someone calls you in about 24hrs to see if you're "happy with the service, and then they try to sell you more stuff!." It's absolutely disgusting results, from their "fix", because the service outage circle continues. Do your self a favor and stay away. At this point, I'll be putting in a complaint to the FCC.

    Such an amazing experience. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Coming from Verizon,…read moreSpectrum's customer service is on another level. I don't need to go on an outdated laggy app or stay on a help line and wait for hours like I did at Verizon. Everyone at spectrum is quick to address questions and solve problems. I had an issue with setting up my router and they sent someone over free of charge the next morning to install it for me. My wifi has not lagged once since I switched over from Verizon Fios. Highly recommend! Went in store at this location to start the process on the new wifi last month and the staff was super helpful and friendly and went above and beyond :)

    This is probably the worst internet service company I've had to deal with. I live in New York City…read morefyi. For starters, my bill began at around $60 per month, and over time it increased to about $130. Throughout that time, there was very little communication about available upgrades or options that could have benefited me. Instead, it felt like the priority was simply collecting more money rather than making sure customers understood what they were paying for. I spent nearly 20 minutes on the phone with a representative in Texas trying to discontinue my service. What should have been a straightforward request turned into an unnecessary back-and-forth. I explained that my decision wasn't based on one issue alone. It was the combination of poor customer service, unreliable internet, and outdated equipment that requires cords running throughout the house. I also explained that no one had informed me about newer equipment or upgrade options. I genuinely tried to provide constructive feedback that the company could use to improve the customer experience. Instead of listening, the representative continued arguing with me about my decision to cancel. It felt as though the goal wasn't to understand my concerns but to convince me to stay, regardless of what I was saying. That experience alone reinforced my decision to leave. What stood out most was that after nearly 20 minutes of arguing, the representative finally told me my service had already been discontinued. That should have been communicated immediately, not at the end of a prolonged conversation. It only reinforced the point I had been making throughout the call: there was a lack of transparency. Transparency matters. Clear communication matters. Respecting your customers' time and money matters. Another thing I found disappointing was hearing negative comments about a competitor during the conversation. I don't believe criticizing another company is a reflection of integrity or strong business values. I would much rather see a company focus on improving its own service than trying to discredit someone else's. Instead of being proactive and addressing issues before they became problems, Spectrum waited until I was ready to leave before offering solutions. By then, it was too late. Integrity, transparency, and genuine customer service are far more valuable to me than last-minute retention efforts. For those reasons, I will no longer be using Spectrum. I don't believe the company has been transparent with me, and I left the interaction feeling that protecting the company was a higher priority than serving the customer.
