From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part I: A Question About Internet Service Providers

Alicia writes:

Hi there,

I recently moved to Greenpoint and as the blog-guide to my new hood I thought you might have a tip on internet service providers in the area.  It’s a boring inquiry, but advice would be extremely helpful.  My realtor said my options are either Time Warner for cable internet or Verizon for dsl internet.  How’s your service? (Speedy?  Not so speedy?)  And what is the dollar per month of surfing the net status?

I have tendered my opinion about Verizon to Alicia (oh, did I ever). However, I would like to hear my fellow Greenpointers’s take on Internet service providers so she can have a more fair and balanced picture of what is available here. Please share your thoughts/experiences via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!
