Half of UK online for over six hours weekly
News brought to you by Skint Tariffs, providers of cheap broadband deals.More than half of the UK take advantage of cheap broadband and surf the internet for over six hours a week, new research from BT indicates.
People in the UK are now living in a "technological utopia", with 44 per cent of homes now installed with broadband and a three-fold increase in the number of people spending more than six hours online a week, in comparison to ten years ago.
John Petter, head of BT Retail’s consumer unit, thinks that the speed, price and quality of technology is contributing to Britons spending more time using cheap broadband.
"The technological advances people hoped for ten years ago have become the reality today and we are already living in the technological utopia envisaged in 1998," he said.
"The pace of innovation and opportunity is unrelenting in the 21st century."
Flights and holidays have been booked online by half of the population, while nearly a quarter admit that they have 'Googled' themselves, the 21st Century Life Index revealed.
However, as use has increased, so too has internet fraud, which is now the UK's biggest concern about the web.
