Broadband Internet Usage Surpasses Narrowband

According to Nielsen/Netratings, for the first time Web users have accessed the Internet more via broadband than by narrowband. Broadband usage out-paced narrowband usage for the first time in January 2002, as broadband surfers logged 1.19 billion hours, accounting for 51 percent of the 2.3 billion hours spent online during the month. Broadband usage in January was up 64 percent in the last year, while time spent online by narrowband surfers decreased three percent from 1.18 billion hours to 1.14 billion.

As the amount of time spent online by broadband surfers increases each year, so does the number of consumers accessing the Internet via high-speed connections. Nearly 21.9 million at-home users accessed the Internet via broadband connection in January, increasing 67 percent and accounting for 21 percent of the total online population at-home. During the same time period, the at-work broadband population jumped 42 percent to 25.5 million office workers, as compared to 18 million the year prior, reaching 63 percent of the Internet office population.
