The Best Internet Services for Your Home
In this modern age of easy-access technology at our fingertips, internet access is one of the most important tools for your family to have. Don’t believe it? Just turn off your home’s internet router without warning and watch what happens — your family members will show up from all corners of the house within seconds, demanding to know what’s wrong. All joking aside, the internet provides a lot of value to your family beyond the obvious access to entertainment.
If you have school-age children at home, they can’t keep up in a modern classroom without access to online information and resources. Similarly, adults who don’t have access to online news alerts quickly end up out of the loop when breaking news occurs. So much of our lives revolves around the internet, from shopping and paying bills to applying for jobs and keeping up with family news, so naturally we want strong, reliable connections. Here’s what you need to know about choosing the best internet service for your home .
Cable Internet
In the mid-to-late 1990s, most of the world was still using painfully slow dial-up internet connections or moderately slow DSL connections when cable internet blazed onto the scene and created the first impressive connection speeds. Today, cable internet — which uses the same types of cables as modern cable TV companies — is the most common form of high-speed internet in the United States. Almost all cable providers around the country offer internet service as a solo option as well as bundled with cable TV.
Most homes are already wired for cable TV connections, which makes connecting cable internet easy as long as the cables aren’t damaged. Once your cable line is activated for service, you simply connect the cable internet router to the line. In many cases, homes have more than one cable connection outlet, giving you flexibility to choose where you want to position the router. As with any type of router, it achieves the best wireless coverage to all parts of the house by placing it near the center of the home.
Depending on your location, top providers include Xfinity, Spectrum and Suddenlink. The price can vary a great deal, depending on the provider and the speed — 10 Mbps to 940 Mbps. Plans start as low as $20 in rare cases but more frequently average $30 to $40 for low to modest speeds. Be sure to gather quotes from different providers and look for promotional deals, which are common.
Fiber Internet
As one of the newest innovations in the sector, fiber internet currently provides the absolute fastest internet connection speeds, but the technology hasn’t spread to all parts of the country yet. At this point, only a few providers offer the technology in large urban areas. If you happen to live in one of the large cities where fiber internet is an option, you might want to check it out, especially considering the cost is usually comparable to cable internet. Powerhouses Verizon, AT&T and Xfinity are among those branching out into fiber.
Like cable internet, fiber delivers blazing fast download speeds, but it blows its cable competition away on upload speeds, which are often just as high. With fiber, you can say goodbye to frozen screens during video conferences and streaming sessions. If you’re a gamer, lags and interruptions will be a thing of the past as well.
DSL Internet
In this modern era, DSL — which still uses a type of phone line — feels like a very old-school, retro choice, but it’s the only choice that many people in some small urban or rural areas have. As the first technology that exceeded the speed of dial-up internet, DSL has come a long way since the mid-1990s, but it’s still outdated in some regards. Besides the geographic restrictions, DSL is sometimes the only viable option for older homes that aren’t equipped to handle cable internet. Key DSL providers include AT&T, CenturyLink and Frontier.
Unfortunately, the lower quality doesn’t translate into cost savings, as DSL service typically runs in the same price range as cable internet. If DSL is your only option, you probably won’t have any issues with routine internet surfing for things like shopping and social media, but streaming videos may be a problem if more than one person tries to stream at the same time.
Satellite Internet
For those who live in rural areas far away from any towns or cities, all the previous options frequently aren’t available, which means satellite internet may be the only option for home internet service. In some rural areas, cable companies provide service, but they charge much higher prices than they charge in cities. Unfortunately, satellite internet rarely impresses anyone with its speed, but the technology has gotten better over the years, increasing speed to the point that it qualifies as a valid broadband option. On the positive side, satellite internet is usually much cheaper than cable internet in rural areas.
4G LTE Internet
Okay, 4G LTE — and potentially 5G LTE in some areas — is technically the technology used by cell phone providers, but you can use this technology to enjoy internet access in your home via connected devices like cell phones, tablets and laptops. To access the technology with minimal fuss, you either add each device to your existing cell phone plan or open a new account to connect the devices (more expensive). This option typically appeals to those who are determined to cut the cord and eliminate TV and internet packages or those who get great cell phone service at home and only need to connect a couple of devices.
If you opt for service through your existing cell phone provider, then 4G LTE plans are usually very reasonable per device and may include unlimited internet usage. Another advantage is you can take your access with you anywhere you go on tablets and laptops, not just on your phone. Your provider may even offer promotional deals on 4G LTE-enabled tablets and computers when you sign up for new service.
Another option exists for 4G LTE internet access, but the process is more complicated, and the availability is more limited. Some companies, like Verizon, have started offering 4G LTE home internet plans that require installation and provide full internet capabilities to all the devices inside the home, just like other internet services. The target market for most companies who have launched this technology is rural homes that don’t have good internet options. These services aren’t yet available on a broad scale but could eventually become much more widespread.

Rick K | 05-26-2015
Had an install set for later in the afternoon. Got a call that morning and the said they could be there in the morning instead of afternoon. That was a plus for me. Guy wore booties and installed everything seamlessly. Never had any service disruptions that couldn't be fixed with a simple reset. Even those are few and far between. Speed is good, I don't see much room for complaining for the tier I'm on. Much better than the other providers in NYC, I'd say.
Alan P | 04-14-2014
We were with RCN for almost 2 years already and I'm quite impressed with their service and speed. I've never had trouble as I have had with other companies in which my connection would be limited or die down often. The speeds always come out to be very close to the advertised stats, sometimes going to 1.5 times as much promised, even throughout the day when others are actively using their services. The pricing is my only concern, as providers have adapted this increasing price plan where you're guaranteed a great price as a new customer, but it just keeps going up each year. If it weren't for the hefty costs, RCN would score perfectly.

Using Wirefly, it's easier than ever to pinpoint a business internet service provider that fits your needs and budget.
Business Internet Providers Available in Brooklyn, NY
Types of Business Internet Providers in Brooklyn, NY
In the past 20 years, there has been an evolution in the options available for internet connectivity. The advancement in technology has facilitated this evolution. It is the right time for businesses in Brooklyn, NY that have been using a single option to explore other options. It is unwise to stick with your outdated internet provider because you might be missing out on the opportunity for a major upgrade. However, you should remember that each option has its own few setbacks that are unique. One of the limitations is availability. Some internet options are very efficient. The only problem is that they have a limited distribution network. Therefore, it is necessary for you to thoroughly research on the options that are available in your area before making your final decision. The common internet options available are fiber optics, cable, DSL, satellite, fixed wireless, and T1.
Most business ISPs in Brooklyn, NY provide internet connectivity and other services as a package. Thus, it is wise to find an internet firm that offers the full package. Some of the services that you should expect are business web hosting, business phone service, and email. A combination of these services will assist you in saving a lot of money. Clients get to enjoy full service for internet connectivity from their providers. The providers are responsible for service and support because they have the professionals to handle the task. Thus, you will save money that would have been used to hire an expert in-house. You will also reduce your operational costs.
It is important to look for an internet provider that offers consultative services to your business. Their experts will be able to determine the specific needs of your enterprise. The ISP will let you know about things that will increase the efficiency of the business. For example, they may propose that you upgrade your existing technology. The best ISP providers in Brooklyn, NY advise their clients on the bandwidth that they require. They calculate the amount based on the number of employees and devices in use in the company. They may also suggest that your business should adopt remote management of devices.
Business Internet Service in Brooklyn, NY: What You Should Consider
There should hardly ever be a reason in this day and age for important data to take hours to download or upload at your business. Many companies choose lower speeds in order to try and save money, but this just hurts them in the long run. Choosing a business internet service provider in Brooklyn, NY should be based on the needs of the company and not how much money they can save. The business owner needs to consider that there will be times when many different devices are being used, as well as the potential for future business growth.
Inquire about bandwidth caps and throttling when checking out internet bandwidth and speed. You'll want to know if the Brooklyn, NY ISP will limit the download rates during certain times of the day. Talk about whether there are any other factors that may lead to other limitations. These may be in the fine print, so you will want to ask up front.
Any company should be cautious choosing a provider that does offers very little in the way of security. Choose a company that offers anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-malware defense. Make sure to find out the details concerning how much security you will be receiving. You'll also want to make sure that this security protects any mobile devices that are linked up with the system. Backup capabilities are also important in the event that the system crashes. A quality internet provider will be able to restore anything that had been on the network from the backups. Cloud-based backups are also an option in today's digital age.
How to Pick The Best Business Internet Service in Brooklyn, NY
Though ISPs normally provide assistance, companies that depend on the Internet for their service necessitate additional support. A company has more to lose if an Internet slowdown occurs. A secure Internet connection will guarantee sales and keep staff productive.
A business should utilize a business ISP in Brooklyn, NY that provides a Service Level Agreement. This type of agreement ensures uninterrupted up-time or something similar. The company should pay attention to solutions offered if the Internet connection is interrupted. The prevailing countermeasure offered is a credit off the bill if the Internet breaks down for a certain length of time. In addition, an ISP should be asked about support phone lines for businesses and how efficient their tech department is when handling issues.
Another crucial point deals with comprehending what has previously worked for other ISP subscribers. Wirefly assists businesses with comparing business Internet plans in Brooklyn, NY. Occasionally, a new service provider may arise and give the impression that they will provide the best service. This is why it is important for a business to do their homework, as they may easily settle for less than they need or deserve. Suggestions founded on experience is priceless.
Scalable and Reliable Business Internet Service in Brooklyn, NY
Try to choose a business internet provider in Brooklyn, NY that has enough resources to prepare for the future. Desirable ISPs will take steps to adapt as their clients undergo important changes. For instance, a company may grow larger and require additional bandwidth. It's more convenient to use an ISP that's capable of meeting such needs. This protects businesses from the hassles and expenses associated with switching providers.
An ISP must also be able to handle upcoming changes to the entire internet. For example, IPv4 will eventually be replaced by IPv6. This new version of the internet protocol is going to greatly increase the number of available IP addresses. The transition to IPv6 enables more websites, servers and devices to connect to the internet at the same time. Providers must address evolving security risks as well.
It can take a long time to find a dependable business internet connection at an affordable price. Wirefly saves time by automatically producing a helpful comparison of Brooklyn, NY business internet service providers.

Keeping up with the pace of New York City is no easy task. Whether you're running to catch a train at Penn Station, or trying to stay ahead of the latest fashion trends, there's nothing about New York that's slow. Your internet service should be no different.
The best internet provider in Brooklyn is up for debate, but it really comes down to your household's individual needs. When it comes to high-speed internet providers, options in Brooklyn are limited. You'll find a cable internet provider or two, a major fiber provider and possibly 5G or fixed wireless service, depending on your address. So which should you get for your home? I have rounded up information on speeds, price and more so that you can compare ISPs and get the best internet service for your needs.
But first a disclaimer: I'm not a Brooklynite. I don't know the best place to get a slice, nor do I know which subway lines will take you to Coney Island. But I do know about the internet providers that serve Brooklyn, so if I can offer any advice to new or lifelong residents, it's on which local internet provider may be best for your household.
You'll find my picks of the best Brooklyn internet providers and what makes them stand out below, followed by other potentially available, though probably less worthwhile, internet options in Brooklyn.
- Verizon Fios
Best Brooklyn internet provider overall
Product details.
Price range
$50 - $120 per month
Speed range
300 - 2,000Mbps
Unlimited data, no contracts, free equipment with gig service
A fiber-optic connection, like the one you get with Verizon Fios, is often going to be your best option for home internet in terms of speed and value. Verizon Fios is the largest fiber-optic internet provider in Brooklyn, but its service area doesn't quite reach every corner of Kings County.
Roughly 86% of households will have access to fiber internet, according to the latest data from the Federal Communications Commission. The remaining fiberless 14% includes random blocks throughout Kensington, Parkville, New Utrecht and other Brooklyn neighborhoods as well as the obvious nonresidential areas, like Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Naval Yard. The FCC's data is admittedly outdated, so there may be, and likely is, better Verizon Fios coverage in Brooklyn today.
Either way, chances are fairly good that Verizon Fios is going to be an option if you live in Brooklyn. That means you'll have the choice of three speed tiers: 300Mbps starting at $40 per month, 500Mbps starting at $65 and gigabit service (940Mbps) starting at $90. Select areas may also have access to Verizon's new multigigabit service with speeds up to 2.3Gbps starting at $120 per month. Since Verizon Fios uses a 100% fiber connection, max download and upload speeds will be the same, or at least very close.

Best low introductory pricing
$40 - $80 per month
300 - 940Mbps
Cable, fiber
Unlimited data, no contracts
If you're looking for cheap cable internet -- and I mean that in terms of actual pricing, not necessarily quality -- Optimum is a good place to start, and you'll find it just about everywhere south of Flushing Avenue save for most westside neighborhoods such as Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Dyker Heights and Fort Hamilton.
Though Optimum does have a growing fiber footprint in NYC, the provider largely uses a cable network, which means dramatically slower upload speeds. Download speeds are right on par with Verizon Fios, however, and pricing on comparable plans may be cheaper. Gig service from Optimum, for example, starts at $80 per month, $10 cheaper than Verizon.
You'll be able to enjoy that low pricing for a while as Optimum internet plans include a two-year price guarantee. After that, a rate increase of just $10 will go into effect, which is one of the lower scheduled rate increases I've seen from any major provider.

Best for cable internet in Brooklyn
$50 - $90 per month
Simple pricing, unlimited data, no contracts, modem included, free access to nationwide Wi-Fi hotspots
Special offers
Bundle discounts, free Peacock Premium for up to 12 months
For the most part, Spectrum cable internet covers Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island, but there are parts of Brooklyn, specifically Downtown Brooklyn and neighborhoods to the north and west, like Red Hook, Williamsburg and Sunset Park, where Spectrum is available.
Spectrum service areas start essentially where Optimum's end, but there may be some overlap, particularly in the Bushwick, Prospect Heights or Borough Park neighborhoods where you may have the choice of both providers. Given the option of the two, I'd favor Spectrum, largely because of the simple, transparent pricing and low equipment costs -- attributes that contributed to CNET naming Spectrum as the best cable internet provider in the country .

Best Brooklyn ISP for apartments
$15 - $80 per month
30 - 1,000Mbps
Unlimited data, free equipment and installation, no contracts
30-Day Happy Interneting Guarantee promises a full refund if you're not satisfied with the service and cancel within the first month
As a fixed wireless provider, Starry internet works by sending high-powered internet signals over the air to dedicated receivers affixed to the top of buildings, which then send service through the building's existing infrastructure to the individual units within. If you're moving into a building within Starry's range (which includes roughly half of Brooklyn, mostly to the borough's north, east and center) and it's equipped for service, then Starry is definitely worth checking out.
Starry's standard internet plan comes with max speeds of 200Mbps down and 100Mbps up for $50 per month. That's plenty of speed for most apartments and, with unlimited data and your equipment included at no extra cost, the pricing is on point. Other plan options may be available, all the way up to gig service, and all are priced competitively compared to other Brooklyn internet providers.
Select buildings will be eligible for Starry's discount internet plan, Starry Connect, which offers symmetrical speeds up to 30Mbps for just $15 per month. That's cheaper than most discount internet plans and, other than living in a building where it's offered, there are no special requirements to sign up, such as showing proof of income or enrollment in WIC or school lunch programs.
Read our Starry internet overview .
All providers listed above may not be available at your address. It's also possible that other ISPs or internet service types may be an option in your area. Here's a quick comparison of all potential (and practical; I've left out satellite internet, for example) internet providers in Brooklyn.
These internet providers may also be available in Brooklyn, but lack the availability or service qualities to be included among the best Brooklyn internet providers.
Astound : Formerly known as RCN, Astound gives Optimum a run for its money for the title of cheapest internet provider in the area with plans starting at $35 per month, but service is highly limited to select blocks in Downtown Brooklyn and Coney Island. There's also a steep, steep price increase to look forward to.
T-Mobile 5G Home Internet : The arrival of 5G and its use for home internet is exciting, but the availability of cable, fiber and fixed wireless throughout Brooklyn makes T-Mobile's $50 plan with speeds of 35-115Mbps a little less enticing. But if you're interested, T-Mobile home internet is available in random spots throughout Brooklyn.
Verizon Internet : As mentioned above, Verizon Fios covers most, but not all, of Brooklyn. The lacking locations may have access to Verizon Internet, a DSL-based service, but the slow speeds aren't worth your money when other options like cable internet, Starry or T-Mobile may be available.
Xchange Telecom : Mainly a fixed wireless provider with some DSL and fiber mixed in, Xchange Telecom is specific to the NY metropolitan area with service covering much of Brooklyn north of Kings Highway. Speeds up to 1,000Mbps are available, according to the FCC, but actual speeds and pricing will vary based on your location and the available connection type.
Satellite internet : No local list of internet providers would be complete without mentioning HughesNet and Viasat . Yes, they are probably available at your address, but slow speeds, high prices and restrictive data caps would make satellite internet an absolute last resort for internet in Brooklyn. You'd be better off rolling the dice with Xchange Telecom.
Excluding some of the impractical, and often expensive, internet options like satellite service and Verizon's DSL, the average starting price for internet in Brooklyn is around $36 per month. That's lower than many areas, but Astound's cheap $15 per month plan is the main factor bringing the average down. Otherwise, expect the cheapest internet plans to run you between $40 and $50 per month, plus taxes and fees.
Brooklyn low income internet options
Starry has arguably the best internet option for low income households with its Starry Connect plan, which offers speeds up to 30Mbps starting at $15 per month. The only condition for signing up is living in a building where the plan is available. But let's say you don't live in a building with Starry Connect, what are your other options for affordable internet?
Select Brooklyn internet providers also offer a discount internet plan available to qualifying low income households. Additionally, you can apply for the Affordable Connectivity Program credit, which will grant up to $30 per month for home internet.
Here's where you can learn more about each provider's discount internet plans or programs:
Average residential internet speeds are about the same as the rest of the US but slightly lower than the state of New York. Keep in mind these are averages and not necessarily an indicator of what speeds to expect from your ISP. Plans with max speeds much faster than the Brooklyn averages are available from multiple providers.
Download speeds
Brooklyn - 135 Mbps
NY - 155 Mbps
US - 133 Mbps
Upload speeds
Brooklyn - 69 Mbps
NY - 77 Mbps
US - 46 Mbps
Excluding the addition of Verizon's new multigig plan , gigabit service with speeds at or around 1,000Mbps are the fastest you'll find from most Brooklyn ISPs. That's plenty fast for most homes, but if you have the need for more speed, it may be worth checking to see if Verizon's 2Gbps service is available and paying the high, though fair, price for it.
With all that speed, it's easy to burn through data, which could pose a problem if any of the major Brooklyn internet providers enforced data caps. You won't have to worry about that with Astound, Verizon Fios, Optimum, Spectrum, Starry or T-Mobile, as all include unlimited data at no extra cost.
Contracts aren't an issue either, as none of the providers mentioned above come with a term agreement or early termination fee for canceling service. With no penalty for canceling service, it may be worth your while to give every decent ISP available at your address a shot to see which suits you best for your home. Just keep in mind that if you cancel service while receiving promotional pricing or special offers from a particular provider, it likely won't be there for you if you decide to go back to that provider in the future.
Most Brooklyn ISPs are reasonable when it comes to added fees as well. Verizon's equipment fee of $15 is a bit steep, but you may be able to skip the fee by using your own compatible equipment or ordering gig service, which includes the equipment at no extra cost. Optimum has the second highest equipment fee at $10 per month, but you also have the option to use your own equipment. Other Brooklyn internet providers charge $5 or nothing at all for equipment.
Brooklyn internet FAQs
Does brooklyn have fiber internet.
Yes. More than 86% of households in Kings County are eligible for fiber-optic internet service, according to the FCC. Verizon Fios is the largest fiber internet provider in Brooklyn, but fiber service may also be available from Optimum or Xchange Telecom.
Brooklyn neighborhoods with the greatest fiber coverage include Red Hook, East Flatbush and Gravesend, while Downtown Brooklyn, New Utrecht, Brownsville and Kensington are among the neighborhoods with the least fiber coverage.
Can I get free Wi-Fi in Brooklyn?
If you're out and about, you can find free Wi-Fi in a few Brooklyn areas, including Fort Greene Park and Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Check out this NYC parks map to find more locations with free Wi-Fi. You can also find free Wi-Fi at many coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and other businesses throughout Brooklyn.
As for free Wi-Fi at home, you'll need an internet connection for that, which won't be free unless you qualify for low-income programs that offset the cost of internet service. Most providers, including Verizon, Spectrum and Optimum charge an additional fee for Wi-Fi equipment but allow you to use your own compatible equipment and skip the fee, which would make the Wi-Fi aspect of your internet connection essentially "free."
Can you get Xfinity in Brooklyn?
No. Xfinity does not offer internet service in Brooklyn. The major cable internet providers in Brooklyn are Astound, Optimum and Spectrum. Xfinity availability largely stops at the Jersey border, but there are select areas of Manhattan that are serviceable for Xfinity.
