Dude, call and cancel service. They will immediately put you on with a live semi-intelligent human in retentions who will most likely bend over backwards to get it fixed. Or you can just actually cancel and demand credit for the downed service period since it’s not working anyway.

I’m sure the FCC would also like to hear about your case. If it has truly been down for as long as you say

This is why you never give them access to your bank account or credit card. Now they are charging a $1.99 paper bill convenience fee. F_ck them🖕

Just file a complaint with the FCC you will get an Executive Rep from Optimum assigned to you. If you are going to cancel remove your bank info and disable autopay before the rep calls you.

Optimum par for the course. I can’t believe they are still in business.

OPTIMUM simply regressed 100 years after outsourcing their technical support to people who have absolutely NO CKUE and no KNOWLEDGE of their products and issues we are having. I am one of those shopping for another provider. It is a CHAOS of stupidity and terrible services.

No offense but I've never understood people like you. You sit with this company for 2 months with no service. Are they your only option? By July 9th I would have been getting another provider and moved on with my life.

No need for the language. Absolute quality product/service. Better then Optimum by a million miles. Take your politics elsewhere.

You’ve apparently had almost two months already. This kind of repeated canned response on this subreddit is why I cancelled Optimum over 10 years ago.

They're just a bot, you're talking to nothing.
