A new report from research firm The NPD Group found that just 50% of homes in the continental United States have access to broadband internet with a download speed of 25Mbps or higher. Researchers analyzed a combination of sales data, speed test results, consumer surveys, FCC data and other sources to determine the state of connectivity in America today. More than one-third of homes (34%) receive internet access at speeds of less than 5Mbps, including 15% that do not have any internet access at all, the researchers found.
