Internet options in Crown Heights

I saw Verizon trucks laying fiber for Fios on Nostrand in the oast few weeks…Hopefully it will be available soon. I too am sick of Cablevision’s shitty service. Other than DSL, I think you are out of luck for the time being…

I cannot deal with Cablevision Internet any more. We have been having major issues with our Internet going out for hours at a time. Their service technicians have come twice to “repair” the issue, but again we are without Internet. Do I have any other options in Crown Heights?

I’ve had Earthlink DSL for over 10 years. It seems to work better than the Verizon DSL that many of my neighbors have (which is inexplicable to me as it uses Verizon lines). Of course my block, along with most Lefferts Manor blocks,  was never wired by Cablevision, so I have no basis for comparison. However my internet only goes out every couple of years, when squirrels chew the lines, or Verizon technicians accidently disconnect it.
