Density of Internet Service competition in Dumbo and surrounding areas.

90th Percentile Average speed: 205.47 Mbps Fastest Recorded Speed: 591.46 Mbps Tech Presence: Dumbo is the undisputed beating heart of Brooklyn’s tech scene, featuring agencies like HUGE and successful startups like Etsy. Neighboring blocks in the same zip code share in the benefits. The big draw here during the original tech boom was access to cheap warehouse spaces in quick proximity to Manhattan. The exposed-brick open-office aesthetic is no less trendy in 2017, and Dumbo is crammed with them. The density of high-performance business connections is likely the driving force behind the high download speed readings in this area. Co-Working Spaces:
