2% of U.S. Households Buy Gigabit Internet Access

The overall percentage of U.S. fixed network internet access subscribers buying gigabit-speed service increased 25 percent, to 2.5 percent in the third quarter of 2019. In 2018 about two percent of U.S. households bought gigabit internet access service, according to Openvault. 

Other estimates peg gigabit take rates at about six percent. 

About 51 percent of U.S. fixed network internet access customers now buy service at 100 Mbps or higher. 

Some 35 percent buy service rated at  100 Mbps to 150 Mbps. About 27 percent buy service running between 50 Mbps and 75 Mbps. 

The percentage of U.S. homes able to buy gigabit service is at least 80 percent, as that is the percentage cable TV alone reaches, according to the NCTA.
