23 Feb 2009 | 11.22 Europe/London
The Office of National Statistics has released its final Internet Connectivity Index showing that more than 19 out of 20 UK internet connections in December 2008 were by broadband.

A continuing decline in dialup use resulted in a small 0.3% reduction in the total number of internet connections, while connections with a "headline speed" over 8 Mbits/s exceeded 10% for the first time.
