Last week, I wrote about a study conducted by TRG Datacenters that assessed the digital quality of life across U.S. cities by measuring metrics such as download speed, number of internet service providers, and customer ratings. I had some follow-up questions, so I requested access to the underlying data from the folks at TRG.
I also wanted to see how California stacked up as a state. Based on the index created by TRG, San Jose ranks as the top city in California for digital connectivity, followed by Sacramento and San Francisco.
I also wanted to find out the top cities by price per megabit per second. Based on the TRG data, here is the ranking of the top 10 cities based on the lowest price per Mbps (from the most cost-effective to least cost-effective):
Louisville seems to be a pretty amazing place to live the broadband dream on a budget, but San Jose isn’t bad either.
