Altice USA, SoNoCC, Encourage Adoption of Low-Cost Broadband Service

From Altice USA, SoNoCC: Altice USA today announced a partnership with the South Norwalk Community Center (SoNoCC) to encourage adoption of the company’s low-cost Optimum broadband service, ‘Economy Internet,’ among eligible families and seniors in southwestern Connecticut. Through this partnership, SoNoCC will be promoting the offer via their community programs and initiatives, which assist more than 4,000 people in the South Norwalk community. Altice USA is a leading telecommunications company that provides Optimum TV, phone and internet services in the New York metro area.

In response to the availability of Altice USA’s ‘Economy Internet’ service in Connecticut, Connecticut State Senator Bob Duff said: “Access to the internet fuels innovation and learning, and programs like Altice USA’s ‘Economy Internet’ are exactly what Connecticut needs in order for our students to thrive. Bridging the digital divide is an important undertaking, and we are grateful that Altice USA shares our mission to enable affordable broadband connections for more Connecticut families and seniors.”

Altice USA’s partnership with SoNoCC kicked off this week during an event in Norwalk, CT, at which elementary school students presented on the important role the internet plays in their daily lives, including for education. The event featured remarks from Connecticut State Representative Chris Perone and South Norwalk Community Center Chairman Warren Pena.

“Altice USA’s ‘Economy Internet’ offering can enhance the lives of many families and senior citizens in Norwalk who are currently without internet in their homes,” said Representative Perone. “I am thrilled to see Altice USA partnering with important community organizations like SoNoCC to encourage eligible households to learn more about the service.”
