Posted: 10th Dec, 2003 By: MarkJ
Oftel (through Ofcom) has published its latest broadband brief covering data up to the end of last month (November), which states that the UK has finally passed the 3,000,000 hi-speed users benchmark!
Broadband adoption rates are now running at record levels and ahead of previous predictions, with more than 40,000 households and businesses a week installing an always-on Internet connection offering download speeds of between 128kbit/s and 2mbit/s, depending on supplier.
The key statistics for the primary technologies (ADSL and Cable) are as follows:
DSL:
End-users = 1,674,000
Availability = 80% of UK homes and businesses
Number of ISPs offering ADSL services = 100 +
Cable modems:
End-users = (estimate) 1,331,000
Availability = 45% of UK homes and businesses
It's also noted that stats (end users) for the smaller technologies remain considerably thinner:
Fixed wireless access = Over 2,500
Satellite = Over 6,000
LLU = 7,800
