Buffalo is the second-largest city in New York state and one of the oldest as well. Founded by French colonists in the 17th century with its population ballooning in the 19th and 20th centuries due to immigration. This immigration was fostered by the building of the Erie Canal and a large rail yard which made Buffalo a popular trade route with millions of dollars worth of goods passing through the city every day. Though the economy slowed in more recent years, some state initiatives have been put in place to revitalize the area. As the city catches its stride again, internet service providers will upgrade their lines to meet the new demand.
There are five different internet service providers operating in Buffalo, each offering something a little bit different than the next. Verizon, Spectrum, HughesNet, ViaSat, and BarrierFree all offer service. They use a mix of DSL, fiber, cable, fixed wireless, and satellite to offer fast, reliable connections.
Spectrum has the largest coverage area in the city and uses a cable network to provide its customers with internet access. Though Spectrum doesn't have the fastest speeds in the city, it is going to be fast enough for ninety-nine percent of households. In addition, they offer a range of products including internet, home phone, and television service.
If you're looking for the absolute fastest speeds in the city though, Verizon is going to be your best choice. Verizon's DSL and fiber lines have almost as large a coverage area as Spectrum with higher average speeds. If you're going to be taking part in high bandwidth activities like streaming and fiber, there won't be a better option than their fiber service. Verizon has particular high coverage in areas like Cheektowaga, Kenmore, and West Seneca.
If you don't have access to a wired connection, there are still quite a few options when connecting your home. ViaSat and HughesNet both offer satellite connections while BarrierFree offers fixed wireless. Any of these can provide broadband service with all three being available in every district in the city.
