Internet Service in Maryland

99.1% of the population of Maryland can get wired or wireless Internet service at speeds of up to 10 Mbps. In fact, there is a variety of Internet options available to more than the majority of the state: 99.3% can get wireless Internet, 94.7% can get cable Internet, 86.9% can get DSL, and an impressive 60% can access fiber Internet. Almost 75% of Maryland has the choice of three or more ISPs available where they live.

However, the reality is that 25.9% of Maryland residents still don’t have Internet connection. The availability of Internet options is largely dependent on the area of Maryland in which one resides, with urban and suburban Maryland having the best choice in ISPs and speed.
