Q1-2006 UK Internet Statistics
Posted: 25th May, 2006 By: MarkJ
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) has finally issued its latest Internet connections report since switching from a monthly to quarterly model. By the end of March 2006 broadband had accounted for 69.2% of all Internet connections.
The figure is up from 65.1% in December 2005, although older dial-up (narrowband) connections continued to decline and now account for just 30.8% of all Internet connections:
In March 2006, the percentage of active subscriptions using metered dial-up access was 21.7 per cent, compared with 32.2 per cent a year before. The percentage of those paying a fixed rate for unmetered dial-up access was 9.1 per cent compared with 18.7 per cent a year before. Broadband subscriptions rose to 69.2 per cent compared with 49.1 per cent in March 2005.
Overall, Internet subscriptions rose by 3.7% between December 2005 and March 2006.
