In the United States, half of American households have only one choice for a high-speed broadband provider. And if you have two or more choices, you’re considered one of the lucky few. The lack of market competition means that monthly broadband costs are high, while customer satisfaction remains abysmally low, with internet service providers routinely rounding out the bottom of NPS (net promoter score) rankings.
High costs and little choice means that some families are getting left behind in what is more commonly known as the digital divide.

A 2021 study from the Pew Research Center found that 90% of Americans say the internet has been essential or important to them to attend school, go to work and stay connected with their loved ones since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, 25 percent of home broadband users noted that affordability remained a persistent concern, due to constantly increasing prices and fees charged by incumbent internet service providers.
