In Wyoming, approximately 97.50% of the state has internet service with speeds of 15 Mbps available for purchase through internet service providers; however, approximately 26.00% 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.
Wireless providers reach 98.90% of the state of Wyoming, but other forms of internet technology are less widely available in Wyoming than in other states. Only 82.00% of the population of Wyoming has access to DSL internet service. Cable internet is available to 73.80%, while only 11.20% have access to fiber internet. Less than 28.10% of Wyoming is served by three or more wired internet providers (DSL, cable and fiber internet).
