More Ohioans hooked to Web

Columbus Dispatch

After trailing the rest of the country for years in broadband use, Ohio has moved ahead of the national average, with two out of three residents connected to high-speed Internet service.

By comparison, three out of five U.S. adults, or 60 percent, use broadband, according to a survey by Connect Ohio, a public-private academic partnership that promotes expansion of high-speed Internet.

The survey found that more than four out of five Ohio households, or 82percent, now have a computer, but about 12 percent of Ohioans don't use the Internet at all.
