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.

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.

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.

They told me that they would give me the first 3 months for FREE. After 2 months I start getting billed. I call them up to ask why I was billed if I was given 3 months for free. They tell me they have no record of me being told I would get 3 months for free. So I tell them to cancel my account. I am then told that I will be charged 400.00 early termination fee. Its bad enough it is hard to understand the representatives but they are liars. I would never recommend them for any reason. Absolute worst company and would give negative starts if I could.
