Prospect Heights is the 74th most connected city in Illinois ahead of Northbrook, Wheeling, and Buffalo Grove, but behind Arlington Heights and Mount Prospect.

The “Connected” metric is a citywide average based on FCC data showing the density of broadband options at the census block level.

Approximately 23,000 people in Cook County don't have access to any wired internet.

This statistic is drawn from the population in census blocks not served by at least one wired broadband provider.

Approximately 93% of Prospect Heights residents are serviced by multiple wired providers.

This coverage statistic is based on a mix of FCC and private provider reporting in the past two quarters.

As of this month, 60070 is the zip code with the fastest average download speed in Prospect Heights.

Zip-based speed averages are calculated from M-Labs consumer speed tests run by IP addresses in the area.

Data Caps in Prospect Heights

Internet providers have begun to increase the use of "data caps" to their consumer Internet packages lately. The trend is certainly true in the Prospect Heights market, with Internet choices like Xfinity selling plans with data caps. This doesn't matter for most Internet users, but it may affect subscribers that upload a lot of high-def video. Data caps on cable plans tend to be in the neighborhood of one Terabyte. This is a problem for less than 1% of Internet users, according to a report from Xfinity. Potential XFINITY from Comcast customers should confirm data caps when signing up. Do not assume them based on phone rep statements.
