To determine the growth in household monthly data used, expressed as a peak hourly rate, we need to determine the increase in active broadband connections from June 2022 to June 2023. Here’s a step-by-step solution:
1. Identify the number of active broadband connections for each period:
- For June 2022, there were [tex]\( 20.6 \)[/tex] million active broadband connections.
- For June 2023, there were [tex]\( 21.7 \)[/tex] million active broadband connections.
2. Calculate the growth in active broadband connections:
- Subtract the number of active connections in June 2022 from the number of active connections in June 2023:
[tex]\[
21.7 \text{ million} - 20.6 \text{ million} = 1.1 \text{ million}
\][/tex]
3. Understand the resulting growth in connections:
- The result indicates that there was an increase of [tex]\(1.1\)[/tex] million active broadband connections from June 2022 to June 2023.
Thus, the growth in active broadband connections over this period is precisely [tex]\(1.1\)[/tex] million, which signifies an increase in the number of households using broadband internet. This growth, though expressed as the total increase in connections, indirectly reflects a rise in the rate of data consumption, including peak hourly rates.
