Residential Survey
Consumer Broadband Adoption Trends
Broadband technology is a powerful tool that Tennessee residents are using on a daily basis because of the value that it brings to their lives. Connected Tennessee is working to make high-speed Internet available statewide, while empowering every Tennessee resident to use broadband to enrich their lives.
To achieve these goals, Connected Tennessee has conducted a survey of 1,202 residents across the state to see if they access broadband, and if so, how they are using it. Based on this data, we estimate that more than 1.5 million or 32% of adults statewide do not subscribe to home broadband service, and adoption varies significantly across socioeconomic lines. The Residential Technology Assessment was conducted as part of the State Broadband Initiative (SBI) grant program, funded by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
We would like for you to explore and share these results.
