Broadband Adoption and Prices Increase, Pew Survey Finds

"Pew's annual Home Broadband Adoption Survey released today shows that 63% of Americans now have broadband Internet connections in their homes, up from the 55% in last year's survey. One of the big drivers has been an increasing number of subscribers to premium broadband services. The survey found that 34% of users reported subscribing to premium services in 2009, up from 29% in 2008. By contrast, the percentage of broadband subscribers who used basic services held about steady at 53%."
