Homes from before 1960 shape the install questions

Of the housing units in ZCTA 11580, 73% were built before 1960, compared with 52% across New York. For a house that age, the most useful questions are about the route the connection takes, not only the plan. Single-family detached homes account for 78% of housing units in this ZCTA. If you own one, you make the calls on the route with the installer:

• Which side of the house should the line come from, and does the job include an outside drop from the street or pole?
• Is there an existing jack or cable run in the home that the installer would reuse?
• How far past the entry point will the installer carry the line indoors, and to which floor?

Settle the router location with the installer before the visit, and mention the rooms where you expect to be online most.

A wired subscription is the norm here

Questions from 11580 residents about older homes

What should I ask before an installer visits a house built before 1960?

Ask where the new line would enter the house, whether an outside drop is needed, and which room the equipment will go in. Write down each provider's answers so the visits are easy to compare.

At a detached house in 11580, how do I weigh the Fiber listing against the Cable listings?

Give Verizon Fios, Optimum and Spectrum the identical street address. For each one, note what line it would bring to the house, where that line would enter, and what has to be ready before the visit. Compare those notes before you pick an installation date.
