Optimizing Connections for Optimum
Digital platforms like Optimum are contractually bound by network routing paths. Even if you hold an active membership, a highly anticipated match may experience buffering if your connection to the specific local network's delivery servers is suboptimal. To ensure the best connection on Optimum, we recommend using a reliable secure node to ensure the highest quality network route.
