Yup, and you will get "up to" 400, (or 200, or 100, or 50) providing no one in your neighborhood who is connected to Optimum, happens to be online at the time — like maybe at 3am. Otherwise regardless of the "up to" speed they say you have, your service slows to a crawl — that is when, of course, the service isn't lost completely several times a day for 5-10 minutes at a time plus the time your modem takes to resync.

Odd that you referred to you tactics as "used to be my scam every year". They are the ones doing the scamming not you.
I really can’t figure out how their marketing geniuses figure that pissing off customers every time a promotional rate ends is good business practice when said customers are constantly bombarded with much lower rates from competitors.
Do they really think that the customers are going to stand for an additional $1000/year added to their bill w/o talking to competitors?
Even worse, for the Cable companies, record numbers of customers have “cut the cord” in 2019. Try and find anyone under 35 who gets cable ( who doesn’t live with their parents and mooches on their cable anyway)

And what I have found just as frustrating...The respective companies ( not just cable/ISP) have made it virtually impossible to talk to a human being whose communication skills are efficient and not script driven. The customer service chat rooms ( when you get get into one) are just as frustrating...
I sometimes want to throw my hands up, but I will not let them beat me.. even if it is for a few $$. I’ll always give poor ratings if asked, unless the employee does an outstanding job... maybe maybe one day they will get the hint

I got rid of cable in 2013. Netflix was enough. With adding showtime or HBO from time to time. Now past 1 yr Amazon n share Netflix with sibling.
I got rid of optimum in 2018. Fios is better and cheaper. Paying $50. A month. Used to be $40 it just went up. Fios is quick and optimum was $70 when I left. Ridiculous.

If you cancel your account they will eventually deactivate your e-mail. When I went from Cablevision to Fios my e-mail stayed active for a while but was eventually terminated. In your case I would get a g-mail acct and notify all my contacts and update the web sites of all financial institutions and businesses you deal with that have your old e-mail.
Don't know is this will help you. When Verizon was trying the almost double my monthly rate after my 2 year contract expired I bought my email address from them, i.e., myname@verizon.net. Cost was nominal and onetime, pretty sure $15. I set it up on my various computers and iphone, no problem for years now. So now it doesn't matter who I use as provider.
My suggestion is to give optimum a call and ask how you can do the same, perhaps before you get the apartment.
