Staying Connected in Hoboken with Optimum
Published 1 day ago• 10 minute read
Life moves fast in Hoboken, and with our busy schedules, every second counts. Whether you’re a remote worker, streaming content, gaming, or keeping in touch with loved ones, seamless connectivity is a necessity these days. No matter your reason, having a reliable connectivity provider is a must so we can continue getting on with our long list of to-dos. Read on for more about Optimum and why the local provider is making waves in the Garden State.
Optimum, one of the largest broadband communications and video services providers in the United States, is headquartered right next door in Long Island City and is deeply embedded in our local communities.
Optimum combines big-tech capabilities with a hyper-local focus that is tailored to meet the needs of both businesses and households alike.
Optimum’s advanced network makes it easier for consumers, businesses, communities, schools, hospitals, and everyone in between to stay connected to the things that matter most to them. Optimum shared with HG: “We are constantly evolving and innovating with faster, more accessible, and more secure products and services.” The company prides itself on operating with reinvention at the top of mind. Optimum never takes “slow” for an answer.
Recently, Optimum has built a new 100% Fiber Internet network that delivers remarkably fast speeds with 99.9% reliability, utilizing speeds of up to 8 Gig. With this advanced infrastructure, Optimum makes it easier than ever to work, stream, game, and connect on the go with little to no interruptions. The company plans to continue adding thousands of additional fiber passings this year across the Tri-State Area, making life for New Jerseyans even more efficient.
Optimum’s award-winning fiber network even landed on Ookla® (a global leader in connectivity intelligence) for the fastest and most reliable internet speeds in New York and New Jersey, with the lowest latency, and for the best gaming experience in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Optimum delivers bundles for families and businesses of all sizes, giving customers the ability to connect their worlds and cut costs without compromises. While bundles and coverage availability are dependent on location, some of Optimum’s current customer-favorite bundles are:
This summer, Optimum is offering a limited-time 5/5/5 deal which includes 5-Gig internet, 5G Unlimited Mobile, and a 5-Year Price Lock for just $55 a month through June 30th. No offer code is required, so locals considering making the switch can call 877-829-9471 or visit optimum.com to confirm if your zip code is eligible.
For more information, visit Optimum’s website to check availability in your area, shop bundles, and more. Locals can also keep up with Optimum on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
