~nondob's review of Optimum customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Optimum customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~nondob: Pressing zero doesn't work. Unfortunately, they've designed their phone system to only accept voice prompts and not touch tones. However, when transferring between representatives, you're taken to what I'm guessing is their old phone system that allows for touch tone entries. Someone should figure out that direct number that takes them to their old system.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting Optimum. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a Optimum problem?
~nondob: I'd give them a two out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~nondob: I'd give them a three out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Optimum's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~nondob: For that I would say five out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Optimum customers?
~nondob: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for Optimum to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~nondob taken from his Optimum customer service problem that occurred on November 8th, 2017.
