” Nearly all students have internet access at home, but some connections are better than others. Most participants (83%) reported having home internet access that is reliable enough to meet most or all of their needs as a student. The majority of students (60%) said that the main type of internet connection they have access to in their primary residence was through a commercial or community internet service provider (ISP) over cable or fiber. Our data indicate that there are differences in the reliability of the types of internet connections that students use; ISPs had the best reliability ratings while connecting via cellular phone had the worst (figure 1).”
