Optimum and Suddenlink agreed to a $15 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims they charged hidden fees despite promising a flat rate monthly payment.
The settlement benefits Optimum and Suddenlink customers who were charged a Network Enhancement Fee, Network Access Surcharge, Broadcast Station Programming Surcharge, TV Broadcast Fee, Sports Programming Surcharge or Regional Sports Network Fee between July 27, 2018, and May 5, 2023.
Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim Optimum and Suddenlink charged hidden, additional fees on internet and cable services despite promising to charge a flat monthly rate for these services. These fees allegedly raised consumers’ monthly costs during promotional periods.
Optimum and Suddenlink are internet and cable providers owned by Altice. The providers were combined under the Optimum name when Altice acquired the company.
Altice hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $15 million settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Optimum and Suddenlink fees settlement, class members can receive a cash payment between $10 and $27.50. Payment amounts will vary depending on whether class members are current or former customers and if they paid a network fee, a TV fee or both.
Current customers who paid both a network fee and a TV fee will receive $27.50. Former customers who paid both a network fee and a TV fee will receive $20. Current customers will receive $15 if they paid a TV fee only or $12.50 if they paid a network fee only. Former customers who paid either a network fee or a TV fee will receive $10.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Sept. 25, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the Optimum class action lawsuit settlement is scheduled for Oct. 13, 2023.
In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Sept. 5, 2023.

They are still Suddenlink, with the same false promises!!! I had the equipment in my home for 3 hours before I took it right back to company. They don’t disclose the credit check done before you sign up causing a deposit of $135 or higher due at 1st bill. Promised internet for $29 and then goes up to $70+ but next door pays $49. They still outsource calls and techs. Cost for the to set up they couldn’t promise it would be Optimum tech or outsource, could be free or charged $69. Yep still same crap company that just changed name

I’m currently a customer of optimum and I’ve been with the company as a customer since they were sudden link but I don’t have claim ID number how do I file a claim

I tried to submit a claim action form, but couldn’t because I did not get a card with a claim ID in the mail, but I have been with Suddenlink and Optimum since maybe 2010. My bill kept getting fees without being notified of, and I only learned what the fees were for when I call them about the fees. They been charging me for Internet service for about a year and half. I just found out I never had the Internet because the box they gave me was the wrong box. In between these time they would come out and do something, and said my service was working. Can an attorney call me please.
I used sudden link in Arkansas Gor many years, internet and tv. Can’t get into the file to get confirmation number or file claim.
I can’t get in it won’t take my I’d or confirmation numbers
