Phone data as the only plan

Households whose only internet subscription is a cellular data plan are 26% in ZCTA 19142, against 11% across Pennsylvania. Many households here manage on phone data alone, and some report no internet at all. For a household weighing its first home plan, these questions come first:

  • Ask which household needs, such as schoolwork or streaming on a TV, the home plan is meant to cover.
  • Ask how many devices the plan is set up to handle at once.
  • Ask who provides the router and whether setup happens at the door or by self-install.

Older buildings and the install visit

Before 1960 is when 77% of housing units in ZCTA 19142 were built, a larger share than Pennsylvania's 45%. In an older home or building, ask the installer to mark the wall where service would be attached, describe any exterior or inside-wall work planned, and agree on a router spot first.

Residents who find their home missing or wrongly shown can start an availability challenge from the location's entry on the FCC National Broadband Map. Ahead of any call, compare internet providers and look at Philadelphia internet providers.
