Re: Broadband or Dial-Up

This issue is closely studied.
Overall, Pew found that 55 percent of American adults now [July 2008] have broadband access at home, up from 47 percent a year earlier ... By contrast, only 10 percent of Americans now have dial-up access.

This kind of study leaves out two factors:
  • Those who have high-speed access at work or school but not at home
  • Those who could not care less about "the internets"
If you can refine exactly what you are looking for, I may be able to find it.

Hi Jim:
I found the Pew study and it's good information. Unfortunately, it didn't have anything specific to Texas. From the Pew study and a couple of others, it looks like most people who want broadband have access to it. The study data about people who simply don't want to change from dial-up is also useful.
