12% of U.S. homes now in the fast lane

60% have Internet access, 20% of that is broadband.
Thus: 0.6 * 0.2 = 0.12, or 12% of households in the US have Internet access via broadband.

No, the way the DSLR article wording is imprecise.

The actual text of the report states:

"While Internet penetration has already reached 59% of US households, broadband will be in over one-fifth (22%) of US homes this year, rising to one-third (32.2%) by 2005..."

but the DSLR blurb says:

"...indicate that six out of every ten American homes have Internet access, with more than one-fifth of them making that link through broadband connections."
