Pricing for the service plans range between $9.99 and $19.99 per month for residential customers and between $29.99 and $36.99 per month for business customers, the operator said.
Altice USA said it has teamed with two service companies, tech support company HelloTech for Premier Installation and Support Service, and Asurion for Premier Remote Technical Support and Device Protection Plans.
Altice USA said the new offerings are available across its Optimum (former Cablevision Systems) service area and throughout most of the Suddenlink service area as they are rolled out footprint-wide.
