The report, which covers May 2001, said that the number of UK homes choosing fully unmetered ISPs has increased by 6% since February, with 24% of UK homes using unmetered access services.
The summary also included information about mobile phone usage. Mobile ownership by UK adults has reached the 70% mark, with 79% of those using pre-paid packages.
Around 15% of consumers said their mobile phone was their main method of making and receiving calls, and nine out of 10 consumers without a fixed line at home use a mobile phone. Only 1% of the UK's adult population does not have a fixed-line or mobile phone.
Oftel commissioned market research firm Mori to conduct the survey, which questioned 2,089 UK adults during May.
