Digital divide is defined as the gap between underserved communities that have poor or limited internet access and the communities that have relatively better access to broadband internet (25 megabits per second download/3 megabits per second upload speeds).
Impacts of the digital divide have been broadly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
