What to do if Optimum is down

  1. Reboot your modem and router: unplug both for 30 seconds, power the modem first, wait for its lights to settle, then the router.
  2. Check for a local service alert in Optimum’s app — many ISPs post address-level outages there.
  3. Test with an ethernet cable straight to the modem to rule out your Wi-Fi.
  4. Check this page — if reports are spiking here, the problem is Optimum, not you, and there is nothing to fix on your end but wait.
  5. Try the service a second way (app vs website, or mobile data vs Wi-Fi). If one works and the other does not, the outage is partial.
  6. Check Optimum’s own status channels (linked below) and their X/Twitter feed for an acknowledgement.

Is Optimum down right now?
No, Optimum looks fine — no unusual problems right now. As of 2026-10-14 03:15:24 ET there are 0 visitor reports in the last 15 minutes. Live status from itsdown.ca.
Why is my Optimum not working?
It is either a wider Optimum outage or something local to you. If the reports on this page are spiking, it is Optimum — not your device — and the fix is to wait. If they are not, work through the "What to do" steps above; most Optimum problems clear with a restart or by switching between the app and the website.
Is it just me, or is Optimum down for everyone?
Check the two signals on this page: 0 visitor reports in the last 15 minutes, and our live reachability checks. A spike in reports from across the US means it is not just you; near-zero reports usually point to a problem on your own connection or account.
How long do Optimum outages usually last?
Most Optimum disruptions are resolved within a couple of hours; larger ones can run longer. The "Recent outages" history above shows how long past Optimum outages actually lasted.
How does itsdown.ca know if Optimum is down?
Two separate signals, never mixed: reports people file here, and automated checks we run against Optimum’s public endpoints every 15 minutes. A responding website does not always mean the service works, so we show both.
