NEW YORK The number of Internet users accessing the Web through a broadband connection at home grew by 9 percent in just six months, according to a new study from comScore networks. The rise resulted in 28 percent of all home Web surfers logging on via a high-speed connection in March.

Conversely, dial-up usage went down 2 percent during the same period from October 2002 to March 2003.

Clearly, more people are converting from dial-up services to cable, DSL, ISDN or other high-speed Web connections.
