found that around 21.3 million U.S. residents don’t have access to a broadband connection.
However, BroadbrandNow released its own survey recently, where they revealed
that the actual numbers are significantly higher. In fact, they estimate that
approximately 42.8 million Americans are not connected via high-speed internet
connection.

4.17 million residents of Texas lack a high-speed internet connection. The Golden
State California has the second-highest number of Americans without fixed
broadband access while Arizona falls in third place.
