Snipped excerpt:
A greater proportion of rural Americans continue to lack access to broadband at all speeds compared to their urban counterparts.
At 6 Mbps, for instance, less than 82% of rural Americans have access to broadband, compared to nearly 100% of urban Americans. At 25 Mbps and above, rural Americans have less than half the access of their urban counterparts. This speed deficit is also a technology deficit. The dataset also demonstrates that the two technologies that providers currently use to offer the highest speeds, and have the most capacity for faster speeds, are DOCSIS 3.0 and FTTP. DOCSIS 3.0 is available to 87.9% of the urban population, but only 39.7% of the rural population. Similarly, 23.6% of the urban population has access to FTTP, but over three times fewer rural residents (7.5%) have access. The most negatively-impacted states: Wyoming, Alaska, Mississippi, West Virginia, Montana, New Mexico, Iowa and Vermont.
