How to choose between them

Start from your busiest hour, not your average one. One or two people browsing and streaming sit comfortably on the entry tier; a family running simultaneous 4K streams, video calls and gaming wants the mid tier; and if anyone uploads for a living, works remote full-time or fills the house with smart devices, the top tier's headroom is what keeps evenings smooth.

Equipment and the real monthly cost

Optimum: no equipment fees on new plans · smart wifi 6 included. Always add any equipment, installation and tax lines to the advertised price before comparing against another provider, and note when the promotional term ends, that is the number that decides whether a plan stays a good deal.

Where you can get it

Optimum serves 21 states. Availability genuinely changes street to street, so run your ZIP through the Netway checker, then call (313) 387-3220 and we confirm your exact address before planning an install date.

Bottom line

While most ISPs raise rates after 12 months, Optimum guarantees your price for 60 months, five full years. If that matches what your household needs, order direct from the plan page, pricing shown was verified on October 22, 2026.
