Broadband Access: Pew Internet
built 633 days ago
There are two barriers to equitable access to broadband: the price and spatial distribution of broadband. There is a huge gap in internet access: according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 53% of adults living in households with less than $30,000 in annual income regularly access the internet, while 91% of those making over $75,000 are connected. Similarly, a study done in Nebraska by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU [pdf] found that while 80% of urban areas had broadband available, the percentage for rural areas was only 54%.

The first type of broadband Internet access is a digital subscriber line, commonly known as DSL. DSL is transmitted through a wire line over a telephone line. Whether you are able to receive DSL or not, will depend on where you are located.
