Access to 1 Gbps Growing, OpenVault Says

Slightly fewer than 10% of U.S. internet subscribers were provisioned for gigabit speeds at the end of Q1, compared with 3.8% in Q1 2020, OpenVault said Tuesday. It said the portion of subscribers provisioned for such rose 75% over the past two quarters. It said the monthly weighted average data used by subscribers in Q1 was 461.7 GB, up nearly 15% from Q1 2020. It said data usage was relatively flat compared with Q1, but usage is elevated from pre-pandemic.
