The Department of Commerce survey shows the percentage of people with internet at home jumped from about 68 percent in 2011 to about 87 percent in 2014.

The survey involved over 1,540 households.
It's the third straight year that Internet connectivity in the Commonwealth has increased.
Last July, Saipan e-commerce and electronic and digital communication came to a standstill when the undersea cable of IT&E was severed, effectively isolating Saipan from the rest of the world.
