But if you want internet and don't want to rely solely on your phone's data plan in your new home, it's a necessity. Whether you're a professional work-from-home couple spending all day on Zoom calls while raising three YouTube- and Spotify-happy teenagers or a thrifty single who spends little to no time streaming or scrolling in favor of reading books and raising chickens, you probably need home internet - at least for the chicken cam.
Just because ISPs allegedly serve your ZIP code doesn't mean all of it - they may serve all homes in an area, some, or just one. Check with each ISP you're interested in (whether on their website or via direct contact) to make sure the company can connect to the street address of your new home - not just the neighborhood. Even in relatively built-up areas, you may find homes where the cable or fiber run stops just a couple hundred feet away with an ISP unwilling to extend it.
