Hello again Jashnimal-ga
Thank you for your question.
========================================================
U.S. Home Connectivity
“As of February 2003, most users connect to the Internet using dial-up
modems of 56Kbps or less. 54.2% use 56Kbps modems, 9.7% use
28/33.3Kbps, and 2.6% use 14.4Kbps modems. All told 66.5% of home
users in the US connect to the Internet at 56Kbps or less.”
U.S. Broadband Growth
“Broadband use in US homes continued along its steady growth curve in
February. As of February of 2003 broadband penetration was at 33.5%,
up from 32.6% in January. Extrapolating the data provided by
Nielsen//NetRatings, broadband share in the US should exceed 50% by
June of 2004”
U.S. Work Connectivity
“Most workers in the US enjoy high-speed connections to the Internet.
Most use a high-speed line such as a T1 connection, and share
bandwidth between computers connected to a network. The speed of each
connection decreases as more employees hook up to the LAN. As of
February of 2003, of those connected to the Internet, 67.9% of US
users at work enjoy a high-speed connection. 32.1% connect from work
at 56Kbps or less”

“In the US, cable accounts for the lion's share of the broadband
market with around 67% of connections. DSL - access via the phone line
- accounts for around 34% of broadband connections.”

“In the United States, asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) and
cable-modem use continued growing briskly last year, with DSL
continuing to lag cable, according to figures released yesterday by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).”
(..)
“The number of U.S. broadband connections grew 55 percent last year,
to 19.9 million. Cable continues to outnumber ADSL, at 11.4 million
connections, compared with ADSL's 6.5 million as of December 2002“
“Summary: Both sides are growing steadily, but cable's still outpacing
ADSL 2 to 1. “

ADSL:
“High-speed asymmetric digital subscriber lines (ADSL) technologies in
service increased by 27% during the second half of 2002, from 5.1
million to 6.5 million lines, compared to a 29% increase, from over
3.9 million to 5.1 million lines, during the preceding six months. For
the full year, high-speed ADSL increased by 64%.”
Cable:
“High-speed service over coaxial cable systems (cable modem service)
increased by 24% during the last six months of 2002, from 9.2 million
to 11.4 million lines, compared to a 30% increase, from 7.1 million to
9.2 million lines, during the first half of 2002. For the full year,
high-speed cable modem connections increased by 61%.”
“Among advanced services lines, ADSL lines increased by 52% during the
last six months of 2002, compared to a 22% increase for cable modem
service. During the preceding six-month period, the rate of growth of
cable modem (55%) exceeded that of ADSL (35%). For the full year,
advanced services lines – service lines provided in excess of 200 kbps
in both directions – for ADSL increased by 105% and cable modem
connections increased by 90%.”
