Eight Million Americans Still Offline: Connectivity Report

94% of U.S. households have internet access. This is the highest rate ever recorded by the Census Bureau. The U.S. "offline population" has fallen nearly 70% since 2015, from 26.9 million to 7.9 million households. This is the biggest decade of digital inclusion on record. Only 0.9% - about 100,000 households - still use dial-up Internet. This follows AOL's shutdown of its remaining service in August.
