Arsenal 2 Bournemouth 0: Gunners brush aside Cherries to claim top spot
Goalkeeper Artur Boruc remained rooted to his line and Gabriel charged unmarked on to an in-swinging Ozil corner to head home. It was a ideal response to the Gunners dismal performance on Boxing Day at Southhampton, when they were humiliated 0-4.
The other 57% listed a range of reasons why they don’t have high-speed Web access including the fact that their smartphone does the job, they have options outside the home, service is not available or sufficient (I wonder if those were farmer respondents), and 30% had some other reason or refused to give a reason.

Thats pretty damn impressive, but if The Force Awakens continues to soar like it is, that mark will be left in the dust. So far, the Disney film has pulled in roughly 0 million worldwide since opening overseas on Wednesday.

The Home Broadband 2015 report is based on telephone surveys of 2,001 adults conducted in June and July. The decline was even greater for rural residents; 65% said they had broadband access at home in 2013, versus 60% this year.
If you’re already doing everything online on your smartphone anyway, why pay for home broadband service?
Here’s the thing: The latest data suggests that subsidizing the cost of Internet access may do little to convert the 20 percent of Americans who still don’t have a high-speed connection.
The shifts in TV-watching behavior are significant for the entertainment industry because so much of the profits of major media congloms are derived from cable networks that rake in affiliate fees from cable and satellite providers.
In previous studies larger percentage of respondents said they didn’t have broadband because they didn’t think it was useful, Horrigan said.
It appears consumers see the value of broadband, but perhaps not enough to overcome the key reason that some are dropping service – cost. Two-thirds (64%) said they cut the cord because they can get their desired programming with an over-air antenna, on the Net or on a streaming video service.
