Honolulu residents like life in the fast lane when it comes to the Internet, according to a new study.

Honolulu is tied with the Seattle/Tacoma metropolitan area for having the sixth-highest percentage of households in the nation with high-speed Internet connections, the report by Scarborough Research shows.

The analysis shows 59 percent of households here had a so-called broadband connection last year as the number of homes with speedy Internet access continued to climb here and nationwide.
