While the number of high-speed Internet connections to US homes and business increased 15% from 28.2 million to 32.5 million in the first half of 2004, that compares to a 20% increase in the second half of 2003, the FCC said.
DSL services provided most of the growth. ADSL lines rose 20% to 11.4 million, while cable modem connections, a more mature market, were up just 13% to 18.6 million. The remaining 2.5 million links were satellite or wireless or non-ADSL wireline.
