NEW YORK More narrowband Internet users are migrating to broadband alternatives as costs to the high-speed services continue to drop, according to a recent study from Nielsen/NetRatings.
More than 40 million people accessed the Web via a high-speed connection in May, a 49 percent year-over-year increase, according to Nielsen/NetRatings. Conversely, the number of people accessing the Web through a narrowband hook-up declined 12 percent to 70 million users.
