Study of Broadband Biggest Users: US One of the Leaders

World's top users of broadband are U.S. residents and it seems that use of this IT service from IT connectivity providers is higher than critics think. Jonathan Banks, USTelecom's senior vice president of law and policy said that broadband use should be one of the discussed topics, along subscriber numbers and speed. "A lot of people compare network capacity to Europe or Japan. You may have a lot of capacity, but if people don't use it, what does it mean?"

Use of Broadband provided by IT companies in seven countries was studied by USTelecom which found out that average U.S. consumers transfer about 14.2 gigabytes worth of Web content a month. The greatest users of broadband per month were South Koreans, followed by France and then U.S. The average broadband connection generates 11.4GBs of Internet traffic per month, or 375 megabytes per day.
