300000 New Broadband Lines gained by the UK
The United Kingdom that had received some humiliating blows this week from the research agencies in terms of internet connection speeds, has salvaged some prestige by showing a sizeable increase in the available infrastructure. This has been revealed by a survey carried out recently.
The gain by the country refers to its adding more than three hundred thousand broadband lines in the United Kingdom in quarter four of the year 2009, says the research. The concerned research was carried out by popular telecommunications agency Point Topic.
According to the results published by Point Topic, the quarter saw the industry adding 308,000 broadband internet lines in total, which has led to a forecast that it could break 18,356,000 broadbad lines across the United Kingdom, overall.
However, the growth in the broadband UK infrastructure over the entire year was seldom as strong despite the adding of sixty-six thousand more broadband lines than anticipated.
The report claimed that as anticipated in mature broadband market, year on year growth got slowed down with ISPs adding only 963,000 broadband lines in 2009, as against the 1,664,000 lines added in 2008 and 2612,000 added in 2007.
