Over the last couple on months we heard here in SA how Telkom and other telecoms players in this country wants to increase the broadband penetration. The figure of 2%-15% of Internet User gets bandied around — how pathetic when one looks at the following.
UK broadband usage is up! The latest National Statistics monthly update to the survey of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) has shown that in October of this year, broadband connections formed 58.9 per cent of all Internet connections. This is an increase up from 57.3 per cent in September 2005. Dial-up connections have continued to decline, and now make up 41.1 per cent of all Internet connections.
