Internet Access in Far Hills, New Jersey
The average resident in Far Hills is serviceable by 3 Internet Service Providers, or "ISPs." In context, this is actually a high amount of competition compared to similar-sized cities. Robust competition between several Internet providers in a city is correlated with better regional pricing.
Considering network technologies in use across the Far Hills area, the most widespread wired Internet technology types are Fiber (88.44 percent coverage) and DSL (88.50 percent coverage). Fiber is built on more modern Fiber-optical cables composed of dense glass strands which can deliver Internet data as light.

Compared to other copper cables, the twisted and bundled copper construction of telephone lines outputs lower performance compared to more modern techs like cable and several times less than fiber.
