Over 2/3 of US Homes have Broadband

Leichtman Research has data that 2/3 of homes in the US have broadband today, and that broadband penetration increases with household income (really?).

Their key findings (from their Press Release)…

• 67% of broadband subscribers are very satisfied (8-10) with their service – while just 4% are not satisfied (1-3)
• 29% of broadband subscribers are very interested (8-10) in receiving faster Internet access at home – while 37% are not interested (1-3)
• Overall, 3% of Internet subscribers say that broadband is not available in their area

I guess the 3% is what the Broadband Stimulus is intended to address.
