Spectrum vs. Verizon Fios vs. Optimum: Comparing NYC’s Leading ISPs

Spectrum has the most availability across all five boroughs in New York City and is available in the majority of areas. Verizon Fios has decent availability but might be restricted in certain parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn. Optimum is most prominent in the outer boroughs and suburban fringe neighborhoods. If you live in Queens or midtown Manhattan, you'll likely have access to all three. But for those in less wired neighborhoods, Spectrum's broad availability gives it the edge in availability and accessibility.
