Pamela Jackson-Walters stands outside her home in Detroit, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022. Jackson-Walters uses her home internet connection to attend church services virtually and to pursue a graduate degree, but the service AT&T offers in her mostly Black neighborhood is much slower than in other parts of the city. She said she also experienced an internet outage for four weeks during the summer. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya) Pamela Jackson-Walters stands outside her home in Detroit, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022.
