    Thanks for your reply, and for the government link.

    No I don’t. But I think we can safely assume that the higher the socio-economic level the more likely that home is to have broadband. Much of the non-broadband areas in Australia would be remote rural locations.

    If you searched the Aust Bureau of Statistics site at http://www.abs.gov.au/ you may find more accurate answers to your questions.

    Anecdotally I can say that there has been a marked increase in the last few years of migrant families having broadband at home.

    Sixty percent of Australian households have wide-band capability! Wow! Do you have a breakdown of the capability figure by socioeconomic level? Ethnicity? Native language spoken at home?
