WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2026 – Optimum Communications lost 40,000 broadband subscribers in the second quarter, fewer than analysts expected but more than the same time last year.

The cable operator also reported increased broadband average revenue per user (ARPU), both sequentially and year-over-year when Wall Street had expected a decline.
