UK internet subscriptions increased by 7.4% during 2002, according to figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
The latest monthly update to the survey of ISPs shows that total subscriptions were actually down 1.1% in December when compared to the previous month. This was due to a 2% decline in the number of dial-up connections.
However, the fall in price of broadband technology is encouraging growth in high-speed internet access. Permanent connections were up 7.3% from November to December and now make up approximately one in ten of all internet subscriptions.
