Altice has reached a
nearly $72 million settlement
to resolve New York
state claims the phone
and cable TV provider
failed to adequately prepare
for and respond to
Tropical Storm Isaias
last August, when more
than 400,000 customers
lost service, Governor
Andrew Cuomo said on
Thursday.

The settlement is
the largest for any company
overseen by the
state’s Public Service
Commission for failing
to follow procedures related
to an emergency response,
Cuomo said.
Altice will spend
$68.54 million on system
upgrades, including
storm responses, and has
provided $3.4 million in
customer credits.
