Optimum Communications, Inc.

Optimum Communications, Inc. (NYSE: OPTU) operates as one of the largest broadband communications and video services providers in the United States, serving approximately 4.3 million residential and business customers across 21 states. The company rebranded from Altice USA in November 2025 and maintains its website at optimum.com.

The company's core business centers on delivering high-speed broadband, video, mobile, and advertising services through a fiber-rich hybrid-fiber coaxial network and an expanding fiber-to-the-home infrastructure. As of December 31, 2025, Optimum Communications operates approximately 10.0 million total passings across its footprint, which extends primarily through the New York metropolitan area and various markets in the south-central United States. The company provides broadband services with speeds up to 1 Gbps in most of its hybrid-fiber coaxial footprint and up to 8 Gbps symmetrical speeds in its fiber-to-the-home footprint, which passes approximately 3.1 million homes and businesses.

Residential services generated the majority of revenue, with broadband contributing $3.5 billion, video services $2.6 billion, telephony $254 million, and mobile $165 million during 2025. The company also serves approximately 369.9 thousand small and medium-sized business customers and operates Lightpath, a 50.01 percent-owned subsidiary providing enterprise fiber connectivity and managed services primarily in the New York, Boston, and Miami metropolitan areas.

Beyond core connectivity services, Optimum Communications operates News 12 Networks, which runs seven 24-hour local news channels across the New York tri-state area, and Optimum Media, an advanced advertising and data company providing audience-based multiscreen advertising solutions. The company also owns Juice Media, a data-driven omnichannel media agency, and participates in NY Interconnect, a joint venture with Charter Communications and Comcast for local advertising sales.

The company employs approximately 9,500 people, with approximately 89 percent based in the United States. Optimum Communications is controlled by Patrick Drahi through Next Alt S.à.r.l. The company's current structure resulted from Altice Europe's acquisition of Cequel Corporation in 2015 and the subsequent acquisition of Cablevision Systems Corporation in 2016.
