70% Of Americans Have High-Speed Internet

At first, this number seemed kinda high....that's until I remembered that the FCC actually considers 768kbps "broadband".

The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project said the percentage of high-speed users represented a small but statistically significant rise from the 66 percent of adults who said they had home broadband in April 2012. The percentage using dial-up as of May 2013 has held steady at three percent for the past two years, Pew found, but is down sharply from a peak of 41 percent in 2001.
