New figures obtained by TLS from the U.S. Census Bureau show that internet access in Lakewood trails significantly behind the rest of New Jersey.
According to the latest Census data, approximately 70% of households in Lakewood reported having an internet subscription, compared with roughly 93% of households statewide.
The figures place Lakewood well below the New Jersey, and comes exactly 14 years after the “internet Asifa” at Citi Field.
Although towns with low internet access is usually due to very low income, in Lakewood, the below average number is likely mostly due to the many people who decline to have internet access in their homes for moral reasons.
The Census Bureau data does not distinguish between households that lack access because of affordability or infrastructure challenges and those that choose not to subscribe.
The newly released statistics come as Lakewood continues to rank among New Jersey’s fastest-growing municipalities, with population gains outpacing most other communities in the state.

So you don’t need internet to access all those Shiurim.
Those apps still require internet to access the shiurim.
How do you access apps? Data is very weak especially when streaming. You kind of need internet if using those apps. Maybe you don’t need apps and you can dial in on the phone etc. But assuming you do want those apps that’s spoty at best
Streaming is using the internet
And so does Hachzek. I just downloaded their app and listen to the mussar daily be”h.
People dont realize that internet includes anything that needs wifi or data and many people have data on their phones or ipads without having a wifi router. many people also have a router and use it for the same apps as the guys without routers just they dont run out of data and have quicker service… Basically I believe many people have no idea what the definition of internet is….
Or they are in denial.
according to the census data from the papers that the schools make you sign the numbers are actually much much lower lol
