According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, households headed by an occupant who did not graduate from high school spend a bit less than three percent of household income (2.8 percent) on phone service.
Households headed by an occupant with a graduate degree tend to spend about 1.2 percent of household income on phone service.
The differences seem to flow from household income, which BLS data shows varies directly with educational level.
It is not clear how spending on video services and internet access varies with educational level and income, as those services seem not to be directly tracked by BLS.
