U.S. Broadband Use Is Nearing 100 Million Users … Then Again, Maybe Not

March 19th, 2006

There are a lot of broadband users in the U.S. ... maybe

eMarketer alerted us the other day to the Nielsen/NetRatings statistic that “the number of active U.S. broadband users from home increased by 28% last year, rising from 74.3 million in February 2005 to 95.5 million in February 2006.”

Meanwhile, less than four months ago ClickZ was reporting that U.S. broadband use was about 46.9 million subscribers.

It seems to me that getting a reliable statistic for broadband use ought to be easier than such a massive discrepancy would indicate. I guess it’s not.
