The Optimum Online Service provides Internet access, as well as access to certain ancillary features of the Optimum Online Service and other proprietary products of Altice, including but not limited to, Optimum WiFi, Optimum Online Video Services, Optimum Voice, Optimum IP Trunking, and Optimum On Demand Services unless otherwise noted. Certain tiers of Optimum Online Service may provide advanced features, such as video downloads and Dynamic DNS (a service that maps Internet domain name to changing IP addresses) and/or other features that may be provided or made available for purchase by authorized Third Party Providers.

Optimum WiFi, Optimum WiFi Passpoint and Altice WiFi (collectively, the "Community WiFi Networks") are WiFi internet access networks made available to Subscribers of Optimum Online.

Availability of particular services, catalogs and titles may vary from time to time at the sole discretion of Altice.

28. Additional Terms for Altice-provided Wireless Router/Gateway and Wireless Access Point: Altice-provided wireless routers, gateways, managed access points and Altice One devices (with built-in router/gateway) (each, an "Altice Router/Gateway") are available to certain Subscribers and provide wireless access to the Optimum Online Service within the Subscriber's residence ("Home Network"). Altice Router/Gateways come programmed with certain default settings and configurations for the Home Network. Subscribers may modify certain of the default settings and configurations on the Altice Router/Gateway although Altice recommends maintaining the default configuration and settings. Altice does not guarantee the security of the Altice Router/Gateway and Subscriber's connection to Optimum Online Services via the Home Network. Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is solely responsible for the security of his/her Home Network. Altice Router/Gateways are preconfigured to distribute hotspots for additional Altice wireless networks in addition to the Home Network, including Optimum WiFi, Optimum WiFi Passpoint and Altice WiFi (each, an "Altice Network Hotspot"). Altice Network Hotspots are separate from the Home Network and are accessible by Optimum/Suddenlink internet subscribers, Optimum Mobile subscribers and certain other authorized users. The Home Network is encrypted and has separate security settings from the Altice Network Hotspots. Subscriber understands that simultaneous connections to both the Home Network and an Altice Network Hotspot may not be available and that after a device is connected to the Home Network, the primary connection for the Subscriber and any devices using Subscriber's login credentials, while in the home, will be to the Home Network. Any use of bandwidth from such wireless access point by third parties, will not be considered to be use by the Subscriber for any purpose. The Altice Router/Gateway will collect and maintain certain information regarding access to and use of the Home Network, which information shall include but not be limited to device identifiers, device name, device type, applications and protocols, connections, and traffic flows. Such information will be used by Altice to provide Optimum Online Services and support as well as for Altice's internal business analytics regarding the use of the Optimum Online Services only and will be subject to the Customer Privacy Notice (Big Apple Connect) (https://www.optimum.com/terms-of-service/customer-privacy-notice-big-apple-connect-by-optimum). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Altice shall have access to the password associated with the Altice Router/Gateway in order to provide support and diagnostic services. Altice reserves the right to modify the password for the Altice Router/Gateway in order to safeguard Internet security, the security and privacy of Subscriber information, where required by law, and/or for other good cause to provide, upgrade and maintain the Optimum Online Services, and protect the network, other users of the Internet, or our Subscribers. Altice shall notify Subscriber of any such password modifications. Subscriber acknowledges that the Altice Router/Gateway is Altice Equipment.

 

29. Information Regarding Range Extenders and WiFi Extenders: In certain circumstances, a range extender or WiFi extender may be required to be installed and connected to the Altice Router/Gateway in order to connect wirelessly to Optimum Online services throughout Subscriber's residence. A monthly extender equipment fee may apply. Subscriber understands and agrees that where the Altice Router/Gateway is a wireless router (as opposed to a gateway or Altice One device), and a range extender is required, the Altice-recommended installation method is through a wired connection directly to the Altice Router/Gateway. Subscriber understands and agrees that wireless router range extender installations are not recommended by Altice and such wireless installations may not successfully resolve any or all wireless signal strength and/or wireless signal range-related issues (issue list not exhaustive). Altice continues to recommend a wired installation to best resolve wireless connectivity issues within your service location.
