(faster) Surfing USA

Knew it was coming. Canadian broadband penetration has been faster than the US, but now that broadband has breached the plurality of American households, I can't understand how anyone could seriously say the Internet is not here to stay (and there are some of those . . . and you know who you are). The Computer Weekly article link quotes a study by NetRatings: and snip: Most US homes have broadband connections.

In July, there were an estimated 63 million broadband users, or 51% of all home internet users, compared with 61.3 million dial-up users.

A year earlier, broadband users were just 38% of home internet users, at about 42.8 million, Ryan said.
