Optimum Completes Network Upgrade to Bring Faster Internet Speeds to Mount Ida, Arkansas

Local Residents and Businesses Now Have Access to 500 Mbps Speeds to Power All of Their Connectivity Needs

ARKANSAS (August 13, 2024) – Optimum, the local provider of internet, mobile, and TV 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 Mount Ida, Arkansas. With this launch, customers are now able to enjoy a superior internet service that is over 33 times faster than the previous highest speed offered by the company in this market. 

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 earlier this year. 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 proud to be a local provider in Mount Ida, and with this upgrade, we are thrilled to bring faster than ever broadband service to our customers in this community,” said Jesse Garcia, Vice President, General Manager of Optimum Mid Central. “With a stronger, more reliable connectivity experience - backed by our team of skilled local technicians - we are continuing to meet our customers’ growing data and entertainment needs to deliver on our mission to be the connectivity provider of choice in every community we serve across the state of Arkansas.”
