Every resident in Rhode Island deserves access to high-speed broadband Internet. That has always been true, but it has been magnified by the COVID-19 crisis. Thankfully, Rhode Island is the fastest and most-connected state in the country, thanks to the billions invested by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Rhode Island infrastructure, products and technology over the years.
In a recent study relying on consumer speed-test data, Rhode Island ranked first among the fifty states in average residential Internet speed at 129Mbps. Data from several sources, including the FCC, also ranks Rhode Island first for the availability of broadband Internet, which is accessible to more than 99 percent of the state’s residents. Simply put, Rhode Islanders have access to the best Internet infrastructure in the country.
