Abstract

Admittedly, the internet users in the remote and rural areas are less in embracing broadband usage due to the technology and economic factors leading them in continuously using low-speed dial up access in lieu of demanding for higher services.There is no exception in the rural areas of northern region of Malaysia as their rate of development is quite low when compared with the rest of the regions in Malaysia, causing backwardness or stagnant in the usage of broadband.Therefore, this research intends to examine the fitness of UTAUT model on the broadband continuous usage in the rural areas.A quantitative survey technique is employed by distributing 200 questionnaires to secondary school students that are residing in the rural areas of northern region of Malaysia. The result shows that UTAUT model is best fit in determining continuous usage of broadband in the rural areas.
