Next up, we have cable internet—a close runner-up to fiber. Once again, Optimum is in the spotlight with its cable internet service, offering speeds up to 940 Mbps.

With Optimum covering 5.9% and Xfinity 15.1% of Metuchen, you've got options aplenty!

But wait, there's more! For those of you who prefer to ride the wireless wave, 5G home internet has arrived.

It's wireless freedom, offering you the flexibility to surf the web whilst surfing a wave (metaphorically speaking, of course).

Lastly, if you’re a bit of a retro tech fan, maybe DSL should be on your radar. Verizon High Speed Internet is keeping it classic with DSL, covering 29.2% of Metuchen. While it may not be the speed demon of the group, with max download speeds of 10 Mbps, it's a reliable choice starting at $40 per month for those whose needs are more dialed down.
