It would be so helpful if there were a website we could go to, enter the village or neighborhood, and get a list of internet providers for that area, along with product type (fiber optic, DSL, cable, etc.) as a starting point. Internet speeds, basic costs, and new subscriber deals? Please!! I’m dreaming of this web site! And a Yelp-like review page by users for the services they provide would be helpful. Anyone know of such a resource? Despite reviewing the dozens of related threads on this Forum, I’m still not sure where to start in getting internet service when I move in next month, or why the same questions need to be asked by nearly every new homeowner.

You said you are a new home buyer, I presume that is a newly built home, not just new to you as in a resale. If so, you would be south of 44 so your choices are cable from Comcast/Xfinity or fiber optic by Quantum ( it think). Spectrum may be in some areas, too. Some people are also using T-Moble Home Internet which is based on 5G cell phone service but the quality of service is very location dependent.
As far as I know, there are no public maps which show the coverage in each area.
