Rhode Island has the third-highest percentage of high-speed broadband Internet connections in the U.S., according to a new report, but broadband usage overall appears to be declining in the state.

The report said 47 percent of broadband Internet connections in Rhode Island are high speed, defined in the report as download rates of 5 megabits per second (Mbps) or more.

At the same time, however, Rhode Island is actually losing ground when it comes to its total percentage of Internet connections at all broadband speeds. Broadband is defined as download rates of 2 megabits per second or more.
