While this was appropriate, it might be nice if they had tagged the revised article as having been revised. But it's nice to know that our various comments here do have some effect, somewhere!

Second, newbieuser, I don't see how the 57 million and 154 million numbers "fit perfectly" with the 22% and 59/60% numbers as the household numbers are 2002 and 2005 comparisons and the percentages are broadband vs. dialup, current year numbers.

Third, if 154 million households was 60% of the US, that would mean the US had about 256 million households--quite an accomplishment for a country with less than 300 million people. (Lots of second home deductions on the 1040, I guess....)

Sometimes I think too many people took speed reading....

Compair price of what Americans pay for High speed with Canadians you realize Americans are getting ripped off big time.

Dsl 1.2Megabit is 35$/month Unlimited CANADIAN dollars here.
In US it's a Lot more for the same thing (don't know edzact numbers)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6529503 Thu, 10 Apr 2003 01:15:40 EDT Re: Number http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6528654 DannyZ : I think it will penetrate further than 32% by 2005

What a poorly written newsblurb.

If you follow the link, it IS 22% of US households with broadband, not 22% of those with internet access.

On the second number, the 57 million and 154 million household figures are WORLDWIDE, not US.

22% of households...

6 out of ten...
