In 2026, Puerto Rico has achieved an internet penetration rate of 78%, reflecting significant progress in expanding digital access across urban and rural areas. The average broadband speed of 150 Mbps ensures improved connectivity, supporting remote work and online education. Smartphone ownership at 85% indicates widespread mobile internet use, yet disparities remain among lower-income households, highlighting ongoing digital divide challenges.
Despite advancements, only 65% of Puerto Ricans possess digital literacy skills, which limits the effective utilization of available technologies. Efforts are underway to bridge this gap through government initiatives and educational programs, aiming for greater digital inclusion. Improving broadband infrastructure and digital skills will be crucial for Puerto Rico’s economic growth and social development in 2026.
