More home users are accessing the Internet at high speeds. That's according to a recent study by Nielsen/NetRatings, which shows that the number of home Internet users connecting via broadband has increased (http://pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,114200,00.asp) by 27 percent in six months (US figures).

The increase is largely due to price declines and the increased efforts by ISPs to promote their broadband services, Nielsen/NetRatings says.

On a related note, good news for Thomas and the rest of our Irish readers, The Reg reports (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/22/34823.html) Ireland is getting cheaper broadband.

Awesome! :) This is another step closer to online gaming becoming much more enjoyable.

I work at a Computer tech store and I've noticed that everyone is switching over to High speed, we must get atleast 5 people a day in the store to have us set up there DSL or Cable connections. 5 may not sound like a lot but it is when theres only 15,000 people in the town.

I agree Agissi I can't wait for some solid online gaming
