A new study (PDF) says for the first time, more Americans are using fast cable or DSL connections to access the Internet than dial-up accounts.
Nielsen/Netratings says last month there were 63 million people using broadband at home, which amounts to 51 percent of the total U.S. Internet population. In July of 2003, only 38 percent of Americans had high-speed connections at home.
