1/3 Of Americans Don’t Use Fast Internet

March 17th, 2010

  • According to the FCC, about 93 million Americans don’t use fast, broadband Internet, citing cost and complexity as a factor.

  • The study found that 80 million adults and 13 million children either still use dial-up or don’t use the Internet at all at home.

  • 78 percent of adults are Internet users, whether that means broadband, dial-up, access from home or access from someplace other than home.

  • 74 percent of adults have access at home

  • 67 percent of U.S. households contain a broadband user who accesses the service at home.

  • 65 percent of adults are broadband adopters. The discrepancy of two percentage points between household and individual home use is because some survey respon- dents are nonbroadband users but live with someone who, at home, is.

  • 6 percent of Americans use dial-up Internet connections as their main form of home access.

  • 6 percent are Internet users but do not use it from home; they access the Internet from places such as work, the library or community centers.
