Broadband In UK

More and more households and businesses in the UK are moving to a broadband connection.

Broadband in the UK has been growing at a number to be estimated at 40,000 homes and businesses adding this “always” on high speed internet connection per week.

The director general of telecoms regulator Oftel, David Edmonds commented that “Broadband is one of the fastest-growing new technologies in recent years.” The E-commerce Minister Stephen Timms added: “We have reached the three million figure earlier than expected and this is great news for the broadband market.” One in five UK homes that have internet access are connectioned with a high speed broadband connection. This figure has more than doubled in the past year.

The Net Transforming Consumers and Businesses

Is the net becoming more popular? Edmonds said “It is transforming the way consumers and businesses use the internet, and is now becoming an important market in its own right. In the last five years the internet has moved from the margins to the mass market, with half of all UK households and two-thirds of businesses now online.”

“The UK was a slow starter but real progress is now being made.”
