More evidence in the last quarter of strong consumer uptake for broadband. The headline numbers from ComReg show the subscription total at 758,800, excluding mobile broadband connection, at the end of 2007.That’s an impressive annual growth figure of 47% in a year, and some 180% over two years.

Add the mobile broadband numbers – shown in the red line on the graph – to the mix, and broadband uptake is nudging towards the 900,000 mark. The magic million is in sight.
