Isles Rank #1 in Broadband Usage
Honolulu has the highest percentage of broadband internet users when compared to 75 other U.S. metropolitan areas. This new study, conducted by Scarborough Research, showed that 52% of homes access the internet via broadband connections, as opposed to the national average of 33%. This equates to 316,380 Honolulu people using high-speed connections.
Gary Meo, head of Scarborough's Internet services division, said Hawaii's geographic location likely plays a part in islanders opting to surf the web faster with this technology. Said Meo, "For people in the islands, it's a good communications tool. People who have broadband connections tend to be higher educated, better employed and have higher incomes..."
Understandably, islanders rely heavily on the internet for round-the-clock information, since they live several time zones from the U.S. mainland.
