Best internet and cable providers in New York, NY
New York doesn’t mess around when it comes to TV and internet. Thanks in part to New York being the most densely populated city in the USA, providers in NYC vie for your attention with some of the best cable and internet packages around.
What are the best internet providers in New York?

What are the best TV companies in New York?
- Verizon Fios—Stellar HD quality
- DIRECTV—NFL SUNDAY TICKET
- DISH—2-year price guarantee

With options for both high quality and budget entertainment packages, sorting through local internet and cable companies can get tricky. You could easily opt for Verizon Fios’s flashy fiber tech or Spectrum’s massive on-demand TV library.
But if your building doesn’t have access to landline services, your only internet choice would be Viasat—yikes. Laggy internet is better than no internet, but the burden of buffering is rough when the building next door probably has gigabit speeds.
At least you can get your fill of sports with DIRECTV or DISH no matter where you live. Go Yankees! Or Mets, if you prefer. It doesn’t matter either way, since their games play on local channels included in either DISH or DIRECTV packages.
