Did you know that not everyone has the same access to quality, high-speed, affordable internet?

While 90% of households in Nebraska have an internet subscription at home, that number varies widely in different areas (95% in Sarpy County but only 71% in Sioux County). Additionally, only 63% of households with a household income of less than $20,000 and 73% of Nebraskans aged 65 and older have an internet subscription at home.
