The answer is digital divide.

Digital divide refers to a concept where access, use, and impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) are not distributed evenly across a population.

There might be segmentation due to the location of the individuals (where city dwellers might have faster internet access compared to those who live in rural areas); or socioeconomic conditions such as the one provided in the question, where educational background impacts broadband internet access.
