Optimum plans for high speed fiber internet offer speeds ranging from 300 Mbps to up to 1 Gbps in most areas. Speeds up to 8 Gbps are available in select locations.
Optimum internet is provided using either a standard cable connection or a fiber connection. Cable internet is provided using a cable modem service, which allows for high speed broadband using the same coaxial cables that you would use for your TV. Fiber internet is provided using fiber-optic cables that transmit data as light pulses which allows for super fast internet service. Fiber typically transmits data at speeds that exceed current DSL or cable modem speeds.
The speeds you experience will vary depending on the modem configuration, internet and server traffic, conditions in external environments, condition of the inside wiring and equipment, network management, and many other factors.
Optimum offers professional installment of their internet directly to your home for a one time fee. Self installation is available in select locations.
Optimum includes their equipment with their plans for no additional cost. Customers can use a modem from Optimum or bring a compatible modem.

Sharing data with carriers when searching for plans
WhistleOut’s internet coverage check requires that we verify serviceability at your address with carriers. When you click to purchase, we only pass verified addresses to a carrier and your address is loaded into the carrier’s shopping cart so that you can easily complete the purchase.
As part of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) you are able to select that we do not sell this data to the carrier - this will also prevent us from validating your coverage with a carrier and setting up the address with the carrier if you choose to purchase.
