Good News! Website Optimization says the United States has improved its broadband penetration ranking from twenty-fifth to twenty-fourth.

As of Q1 2007, 52.72% of US households had a broadband connection while Australia was at 51.93%. South Korea still leads the pack at 89.38%, with Hong Kong at 87.14%, Monaco at 82.92%, Iceland at 75.76%, Singapore at 75.53%, the Netherlands at 73.27%, Denmark at 72.99%, Macau at 72.27%, Isral at 72.07%, and Norway came in at 71.35% household broadband penetration.

South Korea retains its lead over Hong Kong, Monaco, and Iceland in household broadband penetration. At current growth rates however, Hong Kong should pass South Korea in the summer of 2007 to become the leading nation in broadband penetration.

Among active Internet users, broadband grew to 83.43% in US homes in June, up 0.2 percentage points from 83.23% in June 2007.
