Broadband in the US almost reached saturation point

Ok its official, 72% of websurfers at home have broadband in the US.
They reckon the double digit growth, up from 57% in May 05 will slow down to reach saturation at 85% - you aren't ever going to convince some grandmas to join the online revolution.
And those of us that can't afford to make ends meet with rent, food and power will still be out of reach.

So how long will it take NZ to catchup ?
This stat is home usage. I think it is fair to say that workplace use of broadband must be close to 100% in US offices. I wonder what the stats are in NZ?
