Broadband Overtakes Dial-Up
December 14th, 2006
Somehow I missed this little news item a few months ago, but J.D. Power and Associates has reported that broadband has overtaken dial-up. According to the report, broadband accounts for a 56 percent share of residential ISP customers.
Interestingly, the report is primarily an ISP satisfaction survey. So they also noted that “DSL subscribers are significantly more satisfied than their counterparts who use cable modems to access the Internet.”
I know I’ve tried both and we prefer DSL.

56% is at least progress, I wonder what the percentage is here in the mountains.
I’ve never tried DSL, I am not sure it’s available here yet. I can certainly complain about Cable though! Too many outages, speed slow, especially on the upload side, and of course it costs too much, or more than it should.
