Ofcom has today published its interim Communications Market Report, highlighting how UK broadband connections have tipped over the 10m mark (up from 9.792m in December 2005).

By the end of September 2005, Ofcom’s data showed that 57% of the country’s 15.5 million Internet connections were over broadband, and latest figures show that by December 2005 there were 9.792 million broadband connections across the UK (now over 10m).

The number of local loop unbundled (LLU) lines grew from fewer than 50,000 in Q1 2005 to over 200,000 by the end of the year, and according to the Office of the Telecommunications Adjudicator this total had increased to 250,000 by February 2006.
