A local cable company has agreed to a record $72 million settlement with New York after last summer’s response to Tropical Storm Isaias. The storm left around 400,000 Altice customers without service, in some cases for up to two weeks. The settlement is the largest ever in New York for any company under PSC jurisdiction for failing to follow procedures related to an emergency response. Altice is also required to develop a more robust storm-response program and enhance communication and coordination with municipal and county governments.
