Research: 6% US broadband homes have gigabit-speed services

The report – Modern Broadband: Competition and Retention at Gigabit Speeds – notes that only 6 per cent of US broadband households have gigabit-speed services and interest in upgrading to that speed of service has declined over the past two years.
