Older houses and the line into the home

Housing units built before 1960 are 60% of the total in ZCTA 16101, against 45% for Pennsylvania. For an older home, ask Xfinity where the line would enter the house and whether an outside drop or new wiring would be needed. Decide where the router will sit, and ask whether the line can reach that spot.

Points to settle on the call:

• Which outside wall would the line come in through?
• Would the technician need access to a basement or crawl space?
• Can the connection end in the room where the router is planned?

Phone data and homes with no connection

Households with no internet access are 12% of ZCTA 16101, higher than Pennsylvania, and some others rely on a cellular data plan alone. Before ordering a home connection, list the computers, TVs and tablets in the house and ask which of them the connection would run. Ask too what the company would set up inside the home.

To line Xfinity up against other companies, compare internet providers; households elsewhere in town can start from New Castle internet providers.
