It’s especially true when connecting wirelessly, over Wi-Fi, and in households with multiple internet users.

At first blush, there’s some truth to that.

Optimum Online, the company’s entry-level cable internet plan, currently features 35Mbps upload speed.

Uploads with comparable cable internet plans from major providers such asCox,SpectrumandXfinityall range from just 5-10Mbps.

Seems like a missed opportunity by Altice.

It also raises the question of whether the changes are due to potential issues with Optimum’s web link.

“Also, to be clear … We are not throttling speeds.

These are new tiers that go into effect on July 12.”

Whatever term you choose to use, what is crystal clear is a change is coming.
