Hi, I need total # of broadband users in the US, ie: 15M (include

income over 150K, 23% have income 50-100K, 15% have income below 50K.

There are 7,873,000 online users with total household incomes of $150K+. 
69% of them have broadband connections.
Therefore there are 5,432,370 broadband users with total household
incomes of $150K+.


There are 17,786,000 online users with total household incomes of
$100,000 - 149,999                 
61% of them have broadband connections.
Therefore there are 10,849,460 broadband users with total household
incomes of $100,000 - 149,999


There are 26,393,000 online users with total household incomes of             
$75,000 - 99,999
50% of them have broadband connections.
Therefore there are 13,196,500 broadband users with total household
incomes of $ 75,000 - 99,999.


There are 42,473,000 online users with total household incomes of               
$ 50,000 - 74,999
46% of them have broadband connections.
Therefore there are 19,537,580 broadband users with total household
incomes of $ 50,000 - 74,999.


There are 37,826,000 online users with total household incomes of             
$ 25,000 - 49,999
36% of them have broadband connections.
Therefore there are 13,617,360 broadband users with total household
incomes of $ 25,000 - 49,999.


There are 9,399,000 online users with total household incomes of 
$ 0 - 24,999
25% of them have broadband connections
Therefore there are 2,349,750 broadband users with total household
incomes of $ 0 - 24,999.


I used the following data to calculate the above:

Online Users (2004)     Total Household Income
7,873,000                $ 150,000 +
17,786,000               $ 100,000 - 149,999
26,393,000               $ 75,000 - 99,999                    
42,473,000               $ 50,000 - 74,999
37,826,000               $ 25,000 - 49,999
9,399,000                $ 0 - 24,999

Income Level            Broadband 
$ 150,000+              69% 
$ 100,000 - 149,999     61% 
$ 75,000 - 99,999       50% 
$ 50,000 - 74,999       46% 
$ 25,000 - 49,999       36% 
$ 0 - 24,999            25%
