42% of all American adults on a high-speed internet connection at home
| 84 million | The
number of Americans who have broadband internet connections at home as
of March 2006 - a jump of 40% from 64 million in March 2005. A
significant part of the increase is tied to internet newcomers who have
bypassed dial-up connections and gone straight to high-speed
connections, according to Pew Internet & American Life Project Report.
The 40% increase in home broadband adoption from March 2005 to March 2006 is double the 20% rate of increase that occurred from March 2004 to March 2005. |
