REPORT: SLOWER AND MORE EXPENSIVE
Some internet service providers routinely advertise pricing in low-income neighborhoods that is more expensive for slower service than in wealthy neighborhoods. Digital Equity LA has the receipts.
Learn more about potentially discriminatory pricing practices, how they make the digital divide worse, and what you can do to make them stop.
Digital Equity LA is a broad and deep coalition of equity and justice advocates working across the County and across the State to advance universal, equitable access to fast, reliable, and affordable broadband. We are educators, health care providers, economic opportunity engines, community leaders, and above all, service providers and advocates for Californians that have too often been left behind. We have seen and experienced first-hand the urgent need to close the digital divide in our communities.
We learn together, democratize information across our communities, train and support community members to uplift and amplify their voices in political, policy, and regulatory spaces, speak out on policy proposals, and speak truth to power about the realities of the digital divide, digital redlining, discriminatory pricing practices, and more.
