A recent study from NFO CFgroup reports that as of April 2002, 46% of online households in Canada are making high-speed connections. The survey also determined that while most people use the internet for e-mail and research, there are still many who download music files and videos online.

To put the NFO CFgroup percentages into greater perspective, in its latest North America Online Report, IDC estimates that there will be 23.7 million users in the country by 2004, while eMarketer believes the number will be closer to 19 million.
