Gigabit Fiber Can Add $326B to US GDP

According to a joint study by RVA Market Research and Consulting and the Fiber Broadband Association, there is a direct correlation between faster internet speeds and greater productivity, efficiency, and less wasted hours.

“An Internet provider promoting very high bandwidth, such as 1-10 Gigabit symmetrical with lower latency, is not just presenting marketing hype. A Gigabit or more of bandwidth can save significant valuable time for the individual, and can also contribute to increasing the overall Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the U.S. and Canada.”
