But only 4% of adults reported that their household&#8217;s only means of internet access was via a smartphone. The proportion of households with both fixed telephony and mobile also remained stable, at 84% and 94% respectively, with 15% being \u2018mobile-only\u2019 homes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that the general level of <strong>consumer satisfaction<\/strong> with fixed line broadband services has increased by just 1% in the last year to 88% overall, while satisfaction with Mobile Broadband services surged from 83% to 90%. Similarly 79% of NGA \/ superfast broadband subscribers said the download speeds provided by their ISP had met or exceeded their expectations when they purchased the service.<\/p>\n<p>Finally total UK telecoms revenues decreased by 1.8% in 2012 to \u00a338.8bn and this represent an almost identical fall from the 1.9% reported a year earlier.
