   CenturyLink customers in Seattle and Portland receive wide-ranging   
   levels of service for the same price, with poorer residents and people   
   of color more likely to be burdened by slow speeds, according to a new   
   analysis of digital inequities in U.S. cities.   
      
   Seattle had the worst disparities among cities examined in the Pacific   
   Northwest. About half of its lower-income areas were offered slow   
   internet, compared with just 19% of upper-income areas. Addresses in   
   neighborhoods with more residents of color were also offered slow   
   internet more frequently: 32.8% of them, compared to 18.7% of areas with   
   more white residents.
