It was a year or two ago. Surveys had suggested that in 2012 broadband penetration in the U.S. was at about two-thirds of all households, and it had remained at that level since 2010. According to more recent data, the percentage had increased a bit in 2013, but 30% of households (over 36.7 million homes) still don't have access. It's also worth pointing out that the threshold of what constitutes "broadband" in America is something like 4 mbps DL speed. According to this, only 24% of U.S. households have internet speeds of 10 mbps or above. Arbitrarily low bandwidth caps are still a thing as well. While some countries do typically have better internet access than the U.S., others have it even worse. |
What % of the 30% doesn't own a console? I am guessing alot of them are either retired pensioners/unemployed thus are hardly in the market for a regular console anyway.
