Altice / Optimum Broadband and Video Services

Altice is a prominent brand in the global telecommunications sector, with its American operations centered around the brand name Optimum. The brand originated in Europe, founded by entrepreneur Patrick Drahi, and expanded aggressively into the United States through the acquisition of major cable providers such as Cequel (Suddenlink) and Cablevision.

Today, the brand operates as Altice USA, which is one of the largest broadband communications and video services providers in the United States. Its infrastructure consists of a fiber-rich hybrid-fiber coaxial network and a growing fiber-to-the-home network, primarily serving the New York metropolitan area and various markets in the south-central United States. While the founding roots are French-Israeli via its parent holding structures, the operational entity for these services is headquartered and managed within the United States.
