WASHINGTON, May 7, 2026 – Optimum Communications, formerly Altice USA, lost 64,000 broadband subscribers in the first quarter of 2026.
Executives said on the company's earnings call Thursday some of that was related to one-time adjustments, and the number without those would have been 56,000. That’s still more losses than analysts were expecting.
Optimum’s average revenue per user (ARPU) for broadband subscribers also fell to $74.95, although it remained higher than Comcast and Charter’s.
A well-executed upgrade plan not only enhances service delivery but also reduces operational costs and improves customer satisfaction.
