I've had Optimum 200 for a while now, since its only about 20 over the base - I was paying 60 for Optimum, 20 for optimum200, and 5 for the modem rental fee (so 85 all together.) I wanted to get Optimum 300 (400 isn't in my area yet apparently Brooklyn, NY) - but its an extra 35 dollars over Optimum 200 - which is insane.
So today I went to the Optimum store in Brooklyn on Flatlands Ave, and returned an Optimum modem since I bought my own. The lady asked me if I wanted Optimum 300 for only 10 dollars more - I said sure, but was surprised that it was so cheap since online its 35 more. Apparently they are running a promotion over the holiday season with Optimum 300 being 10 more than Optimum 200, so 25 dollars less than usual. She explained that this is not a promotion, and my price is locked in permanently until I leave Optimum.
The way it worked out is weird though, they removed OOL (59.95) and then re-added it (64.95) - then they removed Optimum 200 (20.00) and added Optimum 300 (25.00). So 10 dollar difference. I'm very happy, and after returning my modem, I'm paying 89.95 a month for Optimum 300 (no TV or Voice.) Its not as good as FIOS, but im in a building with no FIOS, so i'm still fairly happy. Just an FYI to anyone else who wants more than Optimum 200 but didn't want to pay 35 bucks.
