October 26, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web British-based web hosting provider Streamline.Net (http://www.Streamline.Net) has surveyed its customers over their broadband or a dial up internet connection usages, the company announced today. The results of the survey proved somewhat surprising.
The company surveyed 8,753 customers of which 8,494 said suggested they had a broadband connection and only 259 were using dial up connections. This compares with national figures which suggest there are 11,599,000 internet users within the UK of which only 5,300,000 use broadband.
These findings are very interesting on two levels,” suggested CEO of Streamline.Net, Mr. Andrew Dollamore. “Firstly, it’s good to better understand our customers in order to target more accurately products and services more appropriate to their needs. Secondly, it illustrates the potential of up selling broadband users web hosting as the next natural step. There's no denying that the gap between broadband and dial up is closing but the gap within the web hosting communality seems almost gone”.
According to the company, Streamline.Net hosts around 90,000 domain names for over 60,000 customers and adds 200 domains to their servers every day.
