Internet Usage in the UK

Statistics on internet Usage in the UK

 

As I have being researching the statistics on internet usage in the UK I have found out that the number of users on the internet has grown over the past few years and keeps growing every year. In 2008 65% (28 million) of households in Great Britain had access to the internet and that is an increase of 7% (1 million) in just one year http://www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=8. Also in 2008 56% of all households in Great Britain had a broadband connection and from 2007 it has risen 5%.

 

The graph below shows the increase of internet users since 2002 to 2008.

Mobile phones are one of the most popular gadgets that people use and after researching mobile phone internet usage I have found that there are a total of 7.4 million mobile internet users in the UK, that’s 12% of all mobile phone users. Another interesting fact that I have found that from 2006-2007 the number of page views from mobile devices has went up by 16%. Technology is growing every day and the internet especially is going to grow and grow and with broadband becoming cheaper,easier to get, faster more and more people will be on the internet if not through  their PC’s and laptops then it will be mobile phones and ipods.

 

The graph below show the UK mobile phone users that use mobile phone internet and dont use mobile phone internet.
