The study was conducted to find out the determinants of household demand for broadband internet access. Specifically, it aimed to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the household; to identify the preferred type of broadband internet connection; to determine the internet access attributes factors and socio-economic factors that affect the demand for broadband internet access and to determine the price and income elasticity of the broadband internet. Primary data was conducted from various households in the selected towns of Cavite namely: Carmona, Dasmarifias City, Mendez, Trece Martires City and Tagaytay City. The time period for the survey covered the period of November to December 2012. During that time period, 150 households were surveyed. Results of the uncorrected multiple regression analysis identified non-significant variables includes average age of the household, number of earning household member, household monthly income, speed and price; and number of dependents were found significant at five percent level to the demand for broadband. While corrected multiple regression analysis showed that number of dependents and number of earning household member as determinants of household demand for broadband internet access. Both variables had a positive relationship to the demand for broadband and were found statistically significant at five percent level
