Creating an Online Account
Getting started with Suddenlink online billing is easy. Just head to Optimum.net and click “Sign In” in the top right corner.
You’ll need to enter some basic information:
- Optimum ID (usually your account number)
- Password
If you’ve used Suddenlink’s online portal before, your login details should still work on Optimum. If it’s your first time signing in or you can’t remember your password, select “Forgot Password” to reset it.
Once you’ve signed in, you’ll see your account dashboard with options to view and pay your bill.
Paying Your Bill Online
To pay your bill through the Optimum portal:
- Click “Pay Bill” on your account dashboard
- Select whether you want to pay the full amount or a custom amount
- Choose your payment method
- Credit/debit card
- Checking account
- Confirm your payment details and submit the payment
It’s that easy! Your bill will instantly update with your payment.
Setting Up Auto-Pay
Tired of logging in to pay every month? You can enroll in AutoPay to have your bill automatically paid from your preferred payment method each month.
To set up AutoPay:
- Click your name in the top right dropdown menu
- Select “Update Automatic Payments“
- Choose your payment type and enter your details
- Check the box to enable automatic payments
- Click “Save“
And you’re all set! Your bill will now be paid automatically each month.
Resetting Your Password
If you forget your Optimum online account password, you can easily reset it:
- Go to the Optimum sign in page
- Click “Forgot Password?“
- Enter your Optimum ID
- Click “Continue“
- Follow the instructions to create a new password
Once you have a new password, sign in to access your account.
Other Ways to Pay
Paying online through Optimum is the easiest way to pay your bill. But you have other options too:
- By phone: Call 877-794-2724 to pay through the automated system or with a representative ($10 fee)
- By mail: Send a check or money order to the payment address on your bill
Mailing in a payment will take longer to process than paying online. To avoid late fees, allow 7-10 days for your mailed payment to reach Suddenlink.
Contacting Customer Support
If you ever have questions or issues with your online account or bill payment, Suddenlink customer support is here to help:
- Phone: 877-794-2724

I hope this guide gives you everything you need to successfully set up and manage online bill pay for your Suddenlink/Optimum account! Paying your cable and internet bill online saves you time and effort each month.
