The average Charlestown home has 2-3 Internet providers to choose from. Competition is desireable. It means most residents have at least two ISPs competing so far as prices. This high level of competition isn't distributed evenly, though. A surprising 8.91 of the local population still has only one or fewer choices for wired broadband Internet service.

To summarize, Charlestown's Internet situation follows a similar pattern to other US cities: strong coverage of cable and DSL, but limited options since a majority of residences are stuck with a single provider for setting up either service. The cable/DSL pattern has a simple reason. Internet providers are former cable television and telephone corporations, and use already connected wired networks on telephone poles for delivering broadband Internet service.
