Optimum IPs in Our Residential Pool
Optimum, operated by Altice USA (formerly Cablevision), is a regional cable internet provider serving approximately 5 million customers primarily in the New York tri-state area — including suburban New York (Long Island, Westchester, Rockland), New Jersey, and Connecticut — as well as parts of North Carolina.
Our residential proxy pool includes IPs from Optimum's cable broadband network. These IPs are registered to Altice USA's residential ASN and classified as cable broadband by IP intelligence databases. Optimum IPs carry residential trust equivalent to other major cable ISPs.
Optimum's value in our pool is regional specificity. Their IPs are concentrated in the affluent suburban communities surrounding New York City — a demographic that advertisers, retailers, and financial services companies consider highly valuable. Requests from Optimum IPs appear to originate from genuine suburban East Coast households.
Hex Proxies residential proxies use a rotating IP pool that includes IPs from many ISPs. You cannot select or guarantee a specific ISP — IPs rotate automatically with country, state, and city-level targeting. The ISP coverage described on this page reflects the composition of our pool, not a dedicated ISP product.
Coverage and Trust
Optimum operates in specific high-value markets: - **New York**: Long Island, Westchester County, Rockland County, Orange County, Dutchess County - **New Jersey**: Northern New Jersey, central Jersey suburbs - **Connecticut**: Fairfield County (Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk), New Haven area - **North Carolina**: Select markets
These are among the wealthiest suburban communities in the United States. Websites that personalize content based on IP demographics — including luxury retailers, real estate platforms, and financial services — serve premium content to Optimum IP addresses.
Anti-bot systems classify Optimum IPs as legitimate residential cable broadband, granting them high trust scores. The regional concentration means Optimum IPs are particularly useful for operations targeting the NYC suburban market.
