Best Internet Providers in South Orange

Let's kick things off with the king of the internet jungle: fiber. In South Orange, you've got some fantastic fiber options that are faster than a cheetah on a skateboard. EarthLink Fiber and Verizon Fios tie for top coverage, each reaching a whopping 76.4% of the area and offering download speeds up to 940 Mbps. Whether you're streaming, gaming, or downloading every cat meme ever created (no judgment here), these providers have got you covered. And if you favor the local darling, Optimum also offers fiber internet with coverage at 24% and speeds peaking at 1 Gbps—it'll have your Wi-Fi zooming like a race car.

If fiber’s not your jam or that tree-lined street is proving too elusive for installation, cable internet is a stellar backup. Optimum checks in again, providing a respectable 51.3% coverage at up to 940 Mbps. And, of course, Xfinity swoops in with its speed demon status offering blistering speeds up to 2 Gbps, albeit with slightly less coverage at 9%. Pick either, and you’ll be more than ready to stream, game, or indulge in a little virtual shopping spree.

Now, let’s say you want to go wireless – because wires are sooo last century, right? Verizon 5G Home Internet might be your go-to with 23.6% coverage and speeds that can reach 50 Mbps, perfect for the modern citizen who loves to stream in style.

And for those of you who are die-hard DSL fans (we know you're out there!), Verizon High Speed Internet makes an appearance with 3.5% coverage. It may only offer speeds of up to 10 Mbps, but remember, slow and steady sometimes wins the race... or at least loads that email.

There you have it, South Orange! Whether you’re a fiber fanatic, cable connoisseur, or a wireless wonder, there’s an option here to suit your internet needs tighter than your favorite pair of skinny jeans.
