All the TV boxes on IPTV utilize JUST the Altice Mini boxes.Īpparently, you can substitute an Apple TV for an Altice Mini in the home to save money.Īs Far As WE Know, fiber service is really just available to NEW Customers ONLY so existing customers will have a HARD time getting fiber upgrade based on what we've seen so far.
The Altice One main box (large w/ the hard drive) is not even deployed in IPTV. TV Service is all IPTV, no RFoG (which FiOS uses), rendering CableCARDs, TiVos, and Scientific Atlanta/Samsung boxes obsolete. Phone jacks are on the provided Fiber Gateway. Phone Service is all VoIP (like their HFC Cable modems). Although if you have TV service, you can use the Altice One Mini boxes as wifi extenders (I believe this is also by calling tech support to manually update).
They do offer wifi extenders for an extra monthly fee (ethernet only, no MoCa). Call it in & it'll be port 1 of the gateway that you will plug YOUR router's WAN port into (no more Double NAT). All must be done remotely by calling Optimum to manually do updates like Port Forwarding.įINALLY they JUST added the ability to do Bridge Mode, but you'll need gateway GR140DG. There is NO Web GUI to make changes on your end. And NO you can't use a FiOS ONT, different networks.įGW-GR240BG original Wi-Fi AC (& no Bridge Mode) Required because it has the built-in ONT (Optical Network Terminal). There are NOW 2 gateway models (modem+router). Customer service reps (store and phone) won't really know.Īltice Fiber Promo pricing: (symmetrical upload/downlaod) Desperate for updates? Check with any Optimum crew as you see them on the street OR look to see if you find any fiber taps on your poles.
#Optimum cable speed test update
So I'll update this 1st post with town buildout progress + feature updates as it becomes available OR if you guys would be so kind to post updates, this helps us all out :) I am NOT an insider, I'm just sourcing all this info from you guys, the front line. A common trend they're doing with other Cable Co's they acquired in Portugal & France :) After Altice (Netherlands Telco corp) acquired Cablevision USA, Altice committed to building out Fiber to the Home & phasing out their old HFCoax network. This is the community-built Master List of Altice Fiber Information & Availability. ***BRIDGE MODE IS FINALLY AVAILABLE :)*** ALL other discussion on Altice Fiber (Conversations, RANTS), please put in this other thread. » ONLY post here for town Fiber Availability + Feature Updates.
