A Quarter Of Albany Households Don’t Have The Internet. That’s A Lot.

I don't know how necessary the internet at home really is nowadays with free wi-fi in so many locations, plus smartphones.

Broadband Availability By Municipality - Fiber Optic Service Availability

New York State has just completed a broadband mapping program as part of the national broadband mapping program funded by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in the US Department of Commerce. Information about the availability of high-speed Internet services, commonly called Broadband, was collected from broadband provider companies regarding the technology type and speed of services offered. The data was updated every six months for five years, and is shown on the NYS Broadband Map at http://www.broadbandmap.ny.gov as well as the National Broadband Map at http://www.broadbandmap.gov. The data on the map depicts broadband availability at the Census Block level. This table summarizes the information for each municipality (town, city, village, Indian Reservation) in New York State.
