I've read in several places (but can't remember where) that those 
numbers were more than a little inflated... Largely by including 
phone-modem users.

Use of the word "broadband" yields more reasonable numbers, but even the 
broadband survey was taken back when "broadband" was defined as 1MB or 
better (which, if Alzheimers hasn't taken over fully, was early to mid- 
2000's.)
