A recent consumer survey from Parks Associates reveals that in 2015, over half of U.S. broadband households took actions to reduce energy consumption, including adjusting a thermostat, turning off unused devices, or switching to CFL or LED lightbulbs. The survey also shows that the average U.S. broadband households pays $123 per month for their electricity usage.
