When Wendyliz Martinez traveled from Pennsylvania to the Bronx to stay with her mom during the pandemic, she was looking for a way to balance childcare with her online graduate studies at Penn State. Instead, she found that she was often interrupted by glitches during Zoom meetings, stuck refreshing the same websites and crowded into a corner of her mom's one-bedroom apartment in the hope of getting a stronger Wi-Fi signal.

We live in a fast-evolving digital age, making a high-speed internet connection just as essential as running water and electricity. But a lack of affordable internet options perpetuates what is known as the broadband divide -- the gap that divides those who can or can't digitally connect in meaningful ways.

Xfinity and Verizon, a DSL/fiber provider, dominate the area. Other providers, like Astound Broadband and T-Mobile, are also available, but Xfinity and Verizon remain the top choices for most Annapolis residents.
