Broadband Penetration in Wales

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

As an update to my entry “Broadband Penetration in the United Kingdom” some facts and figures have been published with regards to broadband usage in Wales and it seems that Wales is slightly above the UK average.

News Wales reports that 43% of welsh households is now signed up for a broadband service, 26% of which have speeds faster than 1mbit. The report goes on to give details on a few different counties. Interestingly Cardiff is no longer top dog, taking second place behind Newport where 51% of households have broadband.

Last July BT announced that Cardiff would be the starting point for its 21CN rollout, where deployment began last month. It expects the new network to save costs over its traditional network as well as offer more high-tech services in the future.

RSS Error, Google Analytics

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

I have realised that the RSS feed button at the top of this screen is actually pointing to the development version of this blog, which has not been updated since the site went properly live. Unfortunately I am not the tech brains behind the blog, so if anyone has clicked the feed button and received an error I apologise. I will try to figure out how to fix it tomorrow!

However, I am not entirely inept, and have just worked out a way to block our work IP from the Google Analytics data for easier reporting. Of course, it could just be that Google makes things so easy, I would have to be a fool not to see it!

Also, apparently Google Analytics is now free for everyone to use. If you haven’t tried it yet and you have a website, you should check it out. There’s a lot of data there but spend a little time learning and the results are fascinating!
