Internet Providers in Charleston: questions answered

How do I find out which internet providers serve my specific address in NYC?
New York State runs its own broadband availability map through the Public Service Commission, where you search an address and see which providers report service there. Treat it as a starting point rather than a guarantee, since a provider can report coverage at the building level while your specific unit is not actually wired for it yet.
Why does my building only offer one internet provider?
Outright exclusive contracts for cable and phone service are restricted, but building owners still control who gets access to install new wiring. A landlord can functionally limit tenants to one provider by never granting a competing company access, even without a formal exclusivity agreement, which is why a coverage map can list options your building does not actually offer.
What is New York's Affordable Broadband Act and do I qualify?
It requires large internet providers to offer eligible households a plan at $15 a month for at least 25 Mbps, or $20 a month for at least 200 Mbps, with no added fees. You qualify through participation in a program like SNAP, Medicaid, or free and reduced-price school lunch, or through an income-based check with the provider directly.
