Almost one in four people with broadband internet admit signing up in order to download pornography, according to a survey published today.

Faster access to adult entertainment was the second biggest reasons why users installed the technology in their home.

The top reason for getting broadband was to download music from the internet, according to the poll by telephone and internet company Homecall.

More than 5,000 people were questioned face-to-face in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff and Birmingham earlier this month about their reasons for getting broadband.

A third said it was to download music, 23% to download adult services, 12% for music videos, 9% to listen to online radio, 8% to download movie trailers and 5% to share information with family and friends.

"Broadband in the home has really taken off," a Homecall spokesperson said.
"We have been able to keep in touch with family and friends via email on dial-up, but having high speed internet access in the privacy of our own home allows us to use the service for entertainment as well."

Broadband allows access to the internet at up to 10 times faster than existing dial-up connections.

A coworker of mine told me about his friend who bought the pr0n site all set up. Basically, buyer pays for hosting, traffic and promoting of your website, and sellers provides the contents. Kind of like 'subway' franchise. The dude apparently can quit his day job now and pay off his mortgage with ease. Made me think 🙂
 
This was mentioned on some documentary: Porn drives technology. Without porn, no VCR, no internet.
