Start with the building, then the provider

Tenants hold 84% of occupied homes in ZCTA 07105, a far higher share than New Jersey's. For a renter, the first calls go to the owner or manager, ahead of any provider. Useful things to ask:

• Has Verizon Fios, Optimum or Xfinity ever connected a unit here?
• Does that line reach my unit, or would a new line be needed?
• In a two-to-four-unit building like mine, does the owner sign off before an installer runs a line from outside?
• Where in the unit would the connection point be placed?

Small multi-unit buildings

Most housing units in ZCTA 07105 sit in buildings of two to four units (63%). In a building that size, ask the owner where outside lines reach the structure and whether your unit could get its own line. Give the floor or unit letter every time you speak with a provider.

Nearby ZCTA 07102 has far more housing in buildings of twenty or more units than ZCTA 07105 does.

When a phone plan is the only connection

Here, 18% of households in ZCTA 07105 get online only through a cellular data plan, a larger share than statewide. A household weighing a line for the unit can ask each listed company what an order needs from a tenant, such as owner approval or access to a shared utility room. Also ask whether the line would end inside your unit or in a shared space.

Renters lining up a new lease can open the apartment internet guide before committing. The Newark internet providers hub and the option to compare internet providers are other stops before calling.

Renting in 07105: questions from residents

Who should I contact first if I rent in a small building?

The owner or manager comes before any provider: find out whose service has been installed in other units. Then check your unit's address with each company.

What if my household relies on a phone plan for internet?

Cellular-only households are a larger share in ZCTA 07105 than statewide. Ask each listed company what is needed to bring a line to your unit and whether the owner must sign off.

Can I order service myself as a tenant?

Ask the owner in writing whether tenants may order directly and whether any outside wiring needs approval. Have that written answer on hand when an installer arrives.
