Optimum Launches Faster Internet Speeds to Customers in Placer County and Nevada County, California

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.

"Under our new brand ethos and platform, Where local is big time, this investment cements our commitment to becoming the local connectivity provider of choice in every community we serve and bringing the best possible connectivity experiences to our customers across our services areas in California."

"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."
