What do you mean by getting hooked up? You should be able to call up Verizon, for example, and see if DSL service is available to you. Their website for residential service will let you enter your telephone number to find out for yourself.
Time Warner had also offered Road Runner service about a year back while I was still in Manhattan as well. Do you mean cafes that offer Internet service instead?

What are you going to do really? Sit in Bryant Park all day to take advantage of this? It'll be a waste, really, unless you're really bored and have absolutely nothing to do for days. remase2 might be better served by seeing if there are other ISPs serving his specific part of Brooklyn like Time Warner, RCN, and etc. Risking sounding like a broken record, but the takeaway points are: Quote:

You may want to double check on that. Verizon also said the same crap to my father's business, a 100 ft more than permitted length. But we went with another DSL provider who setup the DSL for us anyways... even at 768/128, speeds were fine. We use cloud9 dsl
If still no dsl, then free wireless is available for the general public. Here's the website. http://www.nycwireless.net/ |

I have yet to see a place in NYC that does not have highspeed access. There's Verizon, Comcast,Optimum, Covad, RoadRunner, AOL, MSN, etc just to name a few.
I know that Verizon online will say that you do not have service yet but if you call in, they will hook you up. Also, I think Verizonwireless and Sprint Wireless are testing 3G networks already in NYC so check those sites up. |
