Almost 16.5 million households in the UK now have internet access, an increase of 1.2 million since 2007, the latest official figures show.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the new figure represented close to two-thirds of UK households.
Homes in the South East are most likely to have internet access with those in north-east England least likely.

Over two-thirds of adults go online every day or almost every day, with men more regular users than women.
In the 35% of households with no access, there was an increase in the proportion that said they did not want the internet at home, from 3% in 2006 to 24% in 2008. The survey also found that the better educated were more likely to be online.


While many view this as a good thing its likely to be more negative that positive overral if infrastructural improvements are not in place to keep pace with consumer driven expansion, also the figures are indicating a serious divide between "the-haves" and the "have-nots" in terms of access, this is something the government should look seriously into before we end up with a two tiered education system with those doing best being the ones most able to afford the online facilities.

Probably not since 90% of these newcomers might not offer anything at all.
Downloading is an addiction I do not want to give up.
