Some PBX implement line hunting that way. So, you need to Answer before
you do anything else. Otherwise the PSTN switch will cheerfully go on
its merry way while you're scrambling to route the call.
I disagree about this, this is NOT line hunting, but CallForward No
Answer. It's an ignorance from Optimums side to offer it as line
hunting.
IMHO, Regardless of how they market or implement line hunting, you'll
still need to get your Asterisk box to answer the call before ringing
your user's phone. Otherwise, their switch will just assume no answer
and move on to ring the next line.

From a user's POV, there are no perceptible differences between call
forward on busy/no answer and linear line hunting. In linear hunting,
the switch will try a line and move on if it's busy or there's no answer
after a set time. Call forward on busy/no answer will also work pretty
much in the same way, albeit more slowly.
The main difference is in the provisioning: configuring a single hunt
group vs individual call forwarding setting for each number.
