On average, half of Tennesseans have a broadband connection in their home. Unfortunately, most of the counties that fall below that average are rural counties. Without sufficient access to broadband and a high level of related technology adoption, these small communities and their residents will remain technologically isolated.

At Connected Tennessee, we work to ensure all Tennessee communities, rural and urban, have access to the vast technological, educational and economical benefits associated with broadband.

Our ultimate goal is to reach 100% broadband availability and adoption across the State of Tennessee. It’s not going to be easy. That’s why we need your help.
