As at the end of March. there were 1,272,166 broadband subscriptions, which is 28.2% higher than the same time in 2008.

The total number of internet connections had increased to 1,472,599.
200,433 customers still have slower 'narrowband' or dial-up connections but the number of slower connections is decreasing as more people switch to broadband.

New Projects

This week, I've picked up two more clients for full website design - a garden centre, and a driving school.

Gladly for me, both of them have thought about what they want on their site and one even had content on disc when I met him at the first meeting.

The list of projects in development is growing.
The recession doesn't help much. Some clients are nervous about getting a website, while for others, the worries it brings doesn't give them much time to plan.
