34% of US Internet users used WiFi away from home/work
25% of all adults (or 34% of internet users) have gotten online away from home or work using a laptop and a WiFi wireless connection. However, the practice of using WiFi connections away from home or work for online access is mainly the province of home broadband users. Some 40% of home broadband users have done this compared with 12% of those who use dial-up to go online from home. Put differently, 95% of those who say they have used a WiFi connection to go online are home broadband users, according to the Pew Internet Project.
