Built to support the increasing data usage of consumers and the

areas.

and download speeds on their devices with less lag and quicker
response times for more seamless streaming, video chatting, gaming,
and more.

“With consumers today relying on in-home WiFi more than ever
before, we are thrilled to introduce Smart WiFi 6, our most
powerful connectivity experience yet, developed to deliver the
faster speeds, greater coverage, and a more reliable WiFi
experience that consumers demand,” said Hakim Boubazine, Altice
USA’s President of Telecommunications and Chief Operating Officer.
“With Smart WiFi 6, consumers can experience faster WiFi speeds and

data-heavy activities across more devices throughout the home.”
Smart WiFi 6 is powered by the company’s next generation WiFi 6
gateways. It works seamlessly across a variety of different
environments and home layouts while maintaining exceptional network
efficiency and reliability even in busy households. Intelligent
band steering provides the best possible connection for devices no
matter where the device is in the home, and faster speeds enable
quicker downloads, improve the clarity of video calls, enable a
better low-latency online gaming experience, and support
simultaneous streaming of 4K programming.

its network and technology to meet and exceed the growing data
needs of consumers. The company continues to increase broadband
speeds across its footprint, now offering 1 Gig broadband service
to 92 percent of homes it serves and continues to deploy fiber to
the home in many areas of its footprint to enable symmetrical
broadband service.
Smart WiFi 6 is currently available to new Optimum and
Suddenlink 1 Gig broadband customers. In select areas, Smart WiFi 6
