Optimum Undergoing Local Network Transformation to Bring Gigabit Internet Speeds to Cabot, Ward, Austin, Macon, and South Bend, Arkansas

Local Residents and Businesses in These Areas Already Have Access to Faster Internet Speeds of up to 500 Mbps to Power All of Their Connectivity Needs 

ARKANSAS (APRIL 16, 2024) – Optimum, the local provider of internet, mobile, TV and phone services, today announces that due to significant upgrades being made to the company’s local network and infrastructure, residents and businesses in Cabot, Ward, Austin, Macon, and South Bend, Arkansas will soon have access to internet speeds of up to 1 Gig. As part of the company’s ongoing investment into and enhancement of its network in the area, customers in these towns already have access to faster internet speeds of up to 500 Mbps, bringing superior internet 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 launching 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. 

“Optimum is thrilled to bring faster speeds and a better connectivity experience to our customers across Arkansas as we are committed to investing into our local communities and bringing them fast, strong, and reliable connectivity services at a great value,” said Jesse Garcia, Vice President, General Manager of Optimum Mid Central. “At Optimum, we know that our products and services play an important role in keeping our customers connected to the things, people, and experiences that matter most to them, and with this upgrade, we are continuing to meet their ever-growing data and entertainment needs through an enhanced network and full suite of product offerings.”
