How to read these numbers
- Every figure is a survey estimate with a margin of error at the 90% confidence level. A difference smaller than the margin is not a real difference.
- “Broadband of any type” counts cable, fibre, DSL, satellite and cellular data plans together. It does not distinguish speed or technology.
- Households reporting no internet access may still have service available to them. Adoption and availability are different measurements.
- These estimates describe households, not people, and not individual addresses.
