Re: Number

First off, DSLR has rewritten the blurb this thread is based on so it is less confusing now. 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....
