They’ll want your info and what issues you’re having. They want you to solve your problem on your own.

If you can’t solve your problem on your own, they prefer it if their agents has your information on hand before speaking to you.

You can also chat with Optimum business customer support online.  Before they’ll connect you to a rep, they’ll ask you to provide your first and last name, phone number, and access code.
