NEW YORK Every age group of the online population continues to convert to high-speed Internet connections, and thus spend more time online.

More than 33.6 million Internet users accessed the Web via broadband in December 2002, nearly a 60 percent year-over-year increase, according to Nielsen/NetRatings. Meanwhile, those logging on to the Internet through dial-up access declined 10 percent to 74.4 million last month.

The New York-based research firm also found that all age groups are adopting cable, DSL, ISDN or other high-speed Web connections.
