Facts tagged with Dial Up
Over 36 percent of rural households with dial-up Internet access do not adopt broadband because it is not available in the area.
3.08% of Hispanics use a broadband (39.74%) or dial up connection (2.98%) at home
According to a U.S. Department of Commerce report, 43,08% of Hispanics use a broadband (39.74%) or dial up connection (2.98%) at home, while 49.31% uses the internet either at home or anywhere.
Some studies indicate that, between 1995 and 2002, even when the Internet was primarily a dial-up medium, ICT was responsible for two-thirds of total growth in productivity, and virtually all of the growth in labor productivity.
Currently, 63 percent of adults have broadband at home, compared to just 7 percent who use dial-up connections, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
61% of those between the ages of 18 and 29 have laptops and 55% have used it to connect to the internet on a wireless network.
68% of college graduates have laptops and 58% have used a laptop to connect using a wireless network.
47% of Americans have laptops, and wireless is by and large the norm for internet access.
Some 80% of laptop users have connected to the internet using a wireless network such as WiFi and 37% have used a longer range wireless broadband connection such as an AirCard. 81% of laptop users have connected wirelessly using one of those means.
23 percent of European homes and businesses using fixed-line broadband, compared with 20 percent in the United States.
Some 43% of broadband users at home connect through cable, 31% by DSL and 23% by fixed wireless, satellite or fiber. Old fashioned dial-up access still accounts for 7% of Web users.
Perceived price seems to play almost as important a role [in whether people subscribe to broadband] as actual price differential; the reality is that broadband is 4 percent cheaper today and the price of dial-up is roughly 9 percent higher than those services were in 2005.
