Internet Statistics

June 2, 2009 Stuff

I recently put together a presentation for a group of business people in Winchester.  This led me to research some internet statistics which I thought I would share.

  • 108 million searches each day in the uk
  • In 2008, 16 million households in Great Britain (65 per cent) had Internet access.
  • 56% of UK households had broadband in 2008.
  • 88% of businesses have broadband or access to broadband
  • During this recession high street sales have suffered but internet sales continue to soar:- This is from the office of National Statistics – Average weekly value of internet retail sales in January 2009 was approximately £178 Million, an increase of 17% on last year.
