Half of U.S. Web Users on Broadband in July
More than half of all U.S. residential Internet users reached the Web via fast broadband connections in July, outpacing use of slower, dial-up connections for the first time, market researcher Nielsen/NetRatings said.
Sixty-three million Web users connected to the Internet via home broadband links, including high-speed connections over cable TV networks or upgraded phone lines using ISDN or DSL technologies, it said. That amounts to 51% of U.S. residential users, up from 49% in June and from 38% a year earlier.
