U.S. world leader in broadband connections2013-07-19 09:34 by DanielaTags: broadband
After years of reports that America was falling behind Europe and others in terms of broadband access, a recent study on broadband expansion shows that the U.S. is leading the world with faster speeds and a more expansive reach compared to most of other major industrial competitors, including the European Union. Now, the U.S. has more broadband connections than any country except China and ranks third among Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in terms of wired broadband choices. Nearly 90 percent of Americans can choose from two or more wired competitors. Broadband speeds in the U.S. have reportedly increased by an average of 50 percent annually for well over a decade. 94 percent of U.S. homes have access to broadband with speeds of 10 megabits per second or higher and more than two-thirds of U.S. homes are hooked up to the Internet - compared to just more than 4 percent in 2000.
