Internet providers in East Village NYC, NY

What is the best internet provider in the East Village?

Verizon is the best internet provider in the East Village neighborhood of New York City. Its Fios fiber service is incredibly fast, with speeds ranging from 300 Mbps to 2,048 Mbps. Prices are fair for what you get, and you don’t have to worry about data caps, equipment fees, or annual contracts.

If you want a low-cost plan or can’t get fiber internet on your block, cable provider Astound Broadband is an excellent option. Its speeds aren’t as fast as Verizon’s—upload speeds in particular are a lot slower—but cable connections are still fast and reliable. And Astound has cheap plans and loads of deals, making it ideal for college students.

Verizon—Fast download and upload speeds
Astound Broadband—Lots of discounts and deals
Starry Internet—Cheap prices and fixed monthly rates

You can also try out Verizon’s 5G Home Internet plan if you’re looking for a budget plan. Starry Internet and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet are also available in the East Village and other parts of New York City. All three deliver fixed wireless internet, which isn’t as reliable as cable or fiber internet, but you’re more likely to get a good deal on price and other perks.

Verizon Fios has the fastest internet in the East Village. Verizon’s Internet 2 Gig plan hits upload and download speeds up to 2,048 Mbps. That’s incredibly fast—actually, it’s more than most people need. Verizon’s Fios Gigabit Connection plan is a better bet because it costs less but is still incredibly fast for content creators, work-at-homers, and Netflix binge watchers.

Spectrum’s Internet GIG plan doesn’t have gigabit upload speeds like Verizon does, but it is an incredibly fast plan that can handle a ton of bandwidth needs. Get this plan if you spend a lot of time streaming video in 4K, make lots of teleconference calls over Zoom, or share your Wi-Fi with seven people or more.

Astound Broadband’s Gig Internet plan doesn’t quite give you what Verizon can, but it’s still a fast plan—and it’s the cheapest option of the other available providers. The low price is great for all sorts of New Yorkers but especially for college students living in a shared house or apartment.
