Big on Broadband

Nearly nine out of 10 connections to the internet in the UK are now made via broadband, according to the Office for National Statistics.

In its latest survey, the organisation found that 88.4 per cent of Britons are using broadband, up by nearly a third from 12 months ago.

Tim Johnson, chief analyst at analyst group Point-Topic said, potential users had been put off by reported problems in getting a broadband connection up and running, and confused by the gap between promised and actual speeds.
