I've lived in a house where before I moved in they had internet service and if I wanted to use it, I had to pay half of the internet bill. Now I am moving out and I want to be able to use the internet in my new home. What are the possible ISP's I can choose from and their prices?
I would use it for going online, youtube, gaming on Xbox live and PC gaming, and downloading files (Varying from 1mbs to 500mbs).
I am new to this stuff and would appreciate the help.

Well it all depends on where you live. Your thing says New York but is that NYC or NYS? NYC has Optimum Online or Verizon or Time Warner so pick your choices i guess.

Yes I do live in New York City, how would I know if I have access to fiber optics?

If you're on the island you have access to fiber/d3, not sure about the rest of the city. Maybe parts of the bronx.
If it's just you alone using the net, a ~10mb line should be best for price/performance ratio. The more speed you want the more you'll have to pay obv., but I think it would be difficult to justify paying for any more than 25mb in the US, if you are the sole user. -
Any other options available?
Which ISP?
