The data on this page is sourced via FCC reports. Data is cross-validated through privatized databases and direct provider reporting to output more accurate listings than is available from government websites. Information on pricing of individual Internet plans is generated thanks to our data analysis division, who gather tens of thousands of data points every year.
In terms of network technologies available around the area, the most prevalent physical wire broadband tech options are DSL (90.65 percent coverage) and Fiber (28.71 percent coverage). Fiber infrastructure is composed of newer fiber-optic cables made of tiny, thin glass or plastic strands which can transmit Internet data as light. Not all "Fiber" connections reach the subscriber address, however. Some switch to to copper cables in the "last mile." As a result, not all fiber connections offer true "gigabit" speeds. Telephone companies usually offer DSL Internet service, which makes technical sense because DSL sends data packets via phone lines. DSL is outperformed by all major wired Internet technologies except dial-up.
The majority of Jefferson households have 2 wired Internet options to choose from. 70.16 percent of the Jefferson area — 400 people in total — are limited to one or fewer choices for which provider to use.
