Tennessee

In Tennessee, approximately 98.20% of the state has internet service with speeds of 15 Mbps available for purchase through internet service providers; however, approximately 48.00% of the state’s residents have little to no internet connection readily available to them. Some of those with limited internet access have dial-up or legacy copper DSL internet service, but their internet is so slow that streaming, video conferencing, online gaming and other activities requiring high-speed internet are out of reach.
