Internet traffic grows seven-fold

Internet traffic in the UK has increased seven-fold in the past five years, according to a report by telecoms regulator Ofcom.

Domestic broadband use now averages at 17 Gigabytes per month, enough to download 11 films, stream 12 hours on the BBC iPlayer or listen to 12 days of audio over the net.

This compares with mobile broadband demand which is on average 0.24 Gigabytes per month per connection, the report stated.

According to Ofcom, "data from the London Internet Exchange shows that traffic over its network, which connects UK internet service providers, has increased seven-fold in the past five years".

Ofcom has published maps showing availability of mobile phone and mobile broadband coverage across the country.

Using data supplied by communications companies, it split the UK into 200 areas and ranked them according to how well they were served.

On the maps, areas with best coverage are shaded green, while those with the worst are red.

The maps show that 97% of premises and 66% of the UK landmass can receive a 2G signal outdoors from all four 2G networks.

This means that approximately 900,000 UK premises do not have a choice of all four 2G mobile networks.

For 3G, 73% of premises and 13% of the UK's landmass can receive a signal outdoors from all five 3G networks, with lower coverage in less densely populated areas.
