In response to the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic, Altice USA has taken several steps to ensure students in the communities we serve have reliable access to broadband connectivity.

This includes working with school districts to provide solutions to reach households that lack connectivity, including through our Student WiFi product, which enables school-issued devices to access the Optimum WiFi network, as well as by offering a centralized purchase program that allows school districts to identify and provide connectivity to students without broadband access at home.

Altice USA is also providing $1 million in funds and device donations to support remote learning as part of our COVID-19 relief and recovery program.

In addition, Altice USA has introduced a $5 per month Educator Discount available on select Internet and TV packages to show appreciation to the dedicated teachers who are making learning possible for their students both in the classroom and remotely.
