Nearly 84% of Subscribers Getting 100 Mbps Speeds, NTCA Members Study Says

A new NTCA study found that its members offer fiber services with average downstream speeds of at least 100 Mbps to about 84% of their customers, the group announced Wednesday. More than 67% of customers have access to Gigabit downstream speeds. "This year’s survey reinforces and underscores NTCA members’ abiding commitment to the communities they serve, advancing broadband built to last in rural America, and highlights how rural consumers are making greater use of these services," NTCA CEO Shirley Bloomfield said. Conducted in August by Association Research, the study found that nearly 60% of the respondents’ customers subscribed to downstream speeds of at least 100 Mbps compared with about 49% in the 2022 survey.
