Fiber internet in Brookline — questions people ask

Is Boston Broadband available in my part of Brookline?
We're actively expanding across Brookline's 02445, 02446, and 02447 zip codes, targeting 80% coverage including single-family homes. Enter your address on our homepage to check your specific building — our coverage map updates weekly.
How does Boston Broadband compare to Verizon Fios in Brookline?
Fios is solid fiber — but it's still a national carrier with promotional pricing, national call centers, and a business model that includes selling subscriber data. Boston Broadband offers flat pricing with no promotional period, no added fees, no bundling requirements, and local support based in Coolidge Corner. We're also network neutral: we don't throttle any service or inspect your traffic for advertising purposes.
How does Boston Broadband compare to Astound/RCN in Brookline?
Astound typically offers a promotional rate around $49–59/mo that jumps to $110–130+ after 12 months. Boston Broadband pricing starts at $30/mo and never changes. We also offer symmetric upload/download speeds — Astound cable does not. No annual contract, no data caps.
Do you serve single-family homes in Brookline?
Yes. Our expansion plan specifically includes single-family homes, not just apartment buildings. Check your address on our site — we add new buildings and streets regularly.
How fast is fiber internet vs. Astound cable in Brookline?
On Astound's best cable plan, download can reach 1 Gbps, but upload is often capped around 35 Mbps. Boston Broadband fiber gives you equal speeds in both directions — 300 Mbps up and down on our starter plan, 1 Gbps symmetrical on our gigabit plan. For Zoom, uploads, and backups, that difference is enormous.
