Altice (formerly Optimum and Cablevision)
The Borough has been in contact with representatives from Altice (formerly Optimum and Cablevision), to advise them of issues that residents are encountering. These concerns include insufficient internet and television service, as well as difficulties experienced with the customer service department. As a result Altice has created four channels for customers to advise them of issues with their service:

Visit optimum.net/support/outage
Message Optimum at optimum.net/chat
Send Tweet to @Optimumhelp
Call (866) 950-3278

Contacting Optimum via any of these channels will result in a trouble ticket being created that will direct a repair team to assess and address the issue.
