In the latest statistics released by the National Statistics office 41% of connections were found to have an always on connection, as opposed to 22.4% 12 months earlier.
The split for UK Internet connections is shown below:
- 41% use an always on connection, e.g. broadband, leased line etc
- 32% have free access or a pay per minute dial-up style connection
- 23% have an unmetered dial-up connection
- 4% are using some form of mixed access
With a number of ISPs offering sub £15 products, I can’t see any letup in growth in the next 12 months.
