Internet Usage Rates

The US Census Bureau provides statistics on overall internet usage nationwide. The chart (found here) breaks down broadband, dial-up and overall internet access for households by state. Unfortunately, Tennessee ranks low in the access of its citizens to internet generally and broadband. Based on 2007 figures, we have the 7th worst rate for internet access. The other low ranking states tend to be in the south (AL, AR, MS, LA), plus a couple of others like West Virginia and Oklahoma.
