UNITED STATES BROADBAND STATISTICS
UPDATE
April 12, 2006 - THE NUMBER OF U.S. SUBSCRIBERS to broadband
high-speed Internet service jumped 32.3 percent to 42.9 million
lines for the year ended June 2005, according to the Federal
Communications Commission. This was an increase of 10.4 million
lines over the 12-month period, with 5 million added during the
second half of that period. The United States ranks 12th in the
world for broadband subscribers, according to the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development. Part of the reason for
the low ranking of the U.S. is that other countries have
subsidized broadband service, and their populations live in areas
that are easier to serve.
The FCC found that the majority of broadband connections in the
U.S., 61 percent, were via cable modem service offered by
companies like Comcast Corp. More than 37 percent of the
connections were digital subscriber lines (DSL) offered by
telephone companies like AT&T.
DSL service is generally less expensive than cable Internet
service, but offers slower download speeds. The vast majority of
cable customers receive between 2.5 megabits per second (Mbps)
and 10 Mbps in at least one direction, while most DSL customers
receive between 200 kilobits per second and 2.5 Mbps, according
to the FCC.
