I am moving to Crown Heights in a couple of weeks, and was wondering what everyone's experiences have been with different ISPs in the area? Is there one provider that is the clear best value?

    I have Optimum Online. It's $29.95/month. I haven't felt disappointed with it, though I'd like to know what everyone else is using as well. I feel like its pretty fast and reliable. Run multiple devices on the Internet simultaneously without any lag, iPhone, iPad, Hulu on the wii usually.

    You don't usually have too many choices. My building only had Optimum - no other options. Some places have Fios but not all.

    Would either of you mind going to speedtest.net and telling me what your speeds are?

    For Optimum: about 10MB down, 2 up

    +1 for Optimum. They've been great for me. 21 down, 2 up (but I have my online backup running) http://www.speedtest.net/result/2198376474.png

    Cablevision, a.k.a. Optimum Online. They have various plans up to 100mbps (called Ultra, priced @ $99/mo).

    Yes, it's worth it. It blows FIOS away when the lines are clear, and for less money.

    Not that Verizon has anything for me here. They don't even do DSL. Their "broadband" offering consists of DirecTV downstream/dial-up upstream.
