A recent survey by internet service provider (ISP) Plusnet and YouGov revealed that 92 per cent of Brits see their broadband pipes as such a necessity now that, even when tightening their belts during the current credit crunch, the tech is on their ‘keep’ list.
As an online addict who can’t cope being more than a few hours away from my next fix of web, I can fully understand why the figures are so high. What’s more, the survey showed that more than a third of people would rather ditch cigarettes, alcohol and magazine subscriptions than lose their precious web access.

After all, if we as consumers can’t get our web fix we just get a bit grumpy and feel a bit disconnected from goings on. The story is somewhat different for corporates, with loss of reputation and earnings on the menu if the online world puts them in purgatory.
How much time do you spend online each day/week? Do you feel your web usage is borderline addictive? I’m intrigued to find out if I’m ‘normal’ or not. Whatever that may be….
