Internet Connectivity

A growing number of "Silver Surfers" switch to fast online connections

Got bandwidth at home? Like politics? If you answer 'yes' to these questions, and you're young, the internet shaped what you learned about the presidential election.

This slide show presents trends from 2002 to 2004 in adoption of high-speed internet connections at home among Americans living in rural parts of the country.

My favorite was a ride in the front seat of a rollercoaster called California Screamin’. Sure, I’m stuck at my desk today, but for a couple minutes I was vicariously lurching and leaning in Disneyland.

This report provides a portrait of rural America’s Internet users, the activities they pursue online and their attitudes about the Internet compared to online Americans in urban and suburban communities

This presentation is an overview of three years of survey findings and other research about the adoption and impact of the Internet.

There was 50% growth in home broadband adoption in the past year, but the torrid growth pace will likely slow.

The presentation highlights our findings about how broadband users are different from dial-up users.

Those who have home broadband connections use the Internet differently from those who have dial-up connections. Broadband users spend more time online, do more things, and do them more often than dial-up Internet users.
