Optimum Business Services
From broadband and fiber internet to business voice, wireless backup, and managed WiFi — a complete telecom stack for SMBs in the Northeast.
Broadband & Fiber Internet
Optimum Business delivers high-speed broadband and fiber internet for SMBs in the Northeast — with scalable bandwidth tiers and reliable uptime for everyday business operations. Fiber plans offer dedicated symmetrical speeds with stronger SLA terms, while broadband provides a cost-effective option for less demanding workloads.
Business Voice
Optimum Business Voice provides local and long-distance phone service, hosted PBX features, and multi-location support — consolidated under one provider relationship with internet. Designed for small and mid-size businesses that want to simplify their telecom stack with a single bill and single support contact.
Business Continuity
Business Continuity adds wireless backup connectivity that activates automatically when the primary Optimum circuit is disrupted — keeping critical operations online during outages. Purpose-built for businesses with payment processing, cloud-based workflows, or remote access tools that cannot tolerate internet downtime.
Managed WiFi
Business Pro Wi-Fi is Optimum's managed wireless solution for customer-facing environments — including a customizable splash page, a management portal, and data collection with geocoded mobile advertising capabilities. Ideal for retail, hospitality, and service businesses looking to engage customers on-site while reducing IT overhead.

Who Benefits Most from Optimum Business

Businesses Bundling Services
Companies that want to consolidate internet, voice, and managed WiFi under one provider — reducing the number of vendors, support contacts, and monthly invoices to manage.
Uptime-Sensitive Businesses
Retail, professional services, and other businesses that depend on continuous internet access benefit from Optimum Business Continuity — wireless backup that activates automatically during primary circuit failures.

Why Optimum Business
Key Strengths
What sets Optimum Business apart in the Northeast SMB market — and where its bundled, regional approach delivers the most value.
Optimum Business operates a dense cable and fiber network across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania — reaching suburban and secondary markets that national fiber carriers often underserve. For SMBs in the Northeast, Optimum is frequently the highest-speed option available at the address level.
Optimum Business bundles internet, voice, and managed WiFi under a single provider — reducing the number of vendors, invoices, and support contacts for small and mid-size businesses. A consolidated telecom stack lowers administrative overhead and simplifies troubleshooting.
Wireless backup connectivity is available as an add-on to Optimum Business internet — automatically switching to cellular when the primary circuit fails. This level of redundancy is typically reserved for more expensive dedicated circuits, making it accessible for SMBs that need uptime assurance without a full secondary circuit.
Business Pro Wi-Fi goes beyond basic wireless — providing splash page customization, a management portal, and geocoded mobile advertising data for retail and hospitality environments. Businesses can engage customers on-premises while Optimum manages the underlying network infrastructure.
