Community Residents and Businesses Now Have Access to Internet Speeds of up to 500 Mbps 

CALIFORNIA (JUNE 27, 2024) – Optimum, the local provider of internet, mobile, TV, and phone services, today announces that due to significant investments made to the company’s local network and infrastructure, area residents and businesses can now access internet speeds of up to 500 Mbps in parts of Placer County and Nevada County, California. With this launch, customers are now able to enjoy superior internet service and speeds that are more than triple the previous highest speed offered by the company in these markets. 

This network enhancement comes on the heels of the company introducing its new brand platform and marketing campaign, Where local is big time, to customers across its 21-state footprint. The new platform centers on Optimum’s ability to bring customers the reach and connectivity resources of a large national provider with the localized care and support of a small business to cater to the unique connectivity needs of each community it serves.

“I am pleased with Optimum’s ongoing commitment to deliver quality internet access to our local communities across the state of California,” said Placer County District 5 Supervisor, Cindy Gustafson. “This investment brings us one step closer to closing the digital divide and ensures that our local residents and businesses are set-up for success.”
