UTAH, that’s which state! Or so says Harvard researcher Ben Edelman, who “analyzed subscriber data from an unnamed ‘top 10 seller of online adult entertainment.'” When comparing broadband subscribers, Utah comes in first with an average of 5.47 per 1000. In second place is Alaska with just over 5.03 per 1000, and coming in third is Mississippi.”
Most porn users do not pay for their pornography so there is an inherent problem with using the top seller as the metric for determining who uses the most porn.
Then how would you know that most porn users don’t pay - if you cannot track it?
Many websites track users. As mentioned in that finding, they tracked broadband subscribers and Utah had the most.
Because the major porn websites that most people use have endless hours of free porn. And those guys track how many users they have. It’s way more than the smaller paid sites because like with anything it’s hard to compete against free.

The study found that UTAH had the highest rate of internet porn use and they tracked multiple sights - “broadband”: “In telecommunications, broadband is wide bandwidth data transmission which transports multiple signals and traffic types.”
