A study by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project found that 63 percent of adults in the United States had access to broadband at home, an increase of 15 percent in the last year. This follows a 17 percent increase in the previous year and 12 percent two years ago. The study found that only 7 percent of adults use dial-up at home, a 50 percent decrease from 2 years ago. Among the groups who showed the largest increases in broadband access were older adults and rural users. Access among adults ages 65 or older increased 58 percent, 22 percent for adults ages 50-64, and 21 percent for adults living in rural America. The study also reported that 72 percent of adults reported access the Internet from home and that 79 percent of adults identify themselves as Internet users.
