From the FCC,

https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/reports/broadband-progress-reports/2018-broadband-deployment-report

"Approximately 92% of the population has access to both fixed terrestrial services at 25 Mbps/3 Mbps and mobile LTE at speeds of 5 Mbps/1 Mbps. In rural areas, 68.6% of Americans have access to both services, as opposed to 97.9% of Americans in urban areas. With respect to fixed 25 Mbps/3 Mbps and 10 Mbps/3 Mbps LTE services, 85.3% of all Americans have access to such services, including 61% in evaluated rural areas and 89.8% in evaluated urban areas."

 

And to be honest, I find this report to be more positive about the US's internet providers than I thought it has been.

"The U.S. ranked 10th out of 28 countries for download speed, 7th out of 29 for fixed broadband price (using the fixed hedonic price index), and 10th out of 29 for mobile broadband price (again, using the fixed hedonic price index)."

That is actually better than I realized.

And is actually far up the list compared to even my own nation.

Well it are only 28 countries =p.    But yeah not so bad also number 20 of the top 50 https://www.fastmetrics.com/internet-connection-speed-by-country.php#top-10-comparison-2018  (check list all the way down the page).
