Access to Local News and Sports

While many streaming services now offer some local sports and news programming, they often include little to no local channels in their lineup giving cable typically a clear advantage. If sports are an important consideration to you, be sure to research what is available in your local area.

Unwavering Reliability

But by and large, a hardwired Optimum cable connection is exceedingly reliable, and unaffected by some of the scenarios that can cause streaming hiccups. One of the most common culprits for slow streaming speeds is outside your control altogether – the number of users in your area watching at the same time.
