Here I publish my records of Internet connection in UK homes. The chart may be of

interest to a teacher wishing to illustrate this kind of economic behaviour or to plot

some real data on a scattergraph. It may also be of interest to researchers in this

field.

My records go back to 1995, shortly after Microsoft began bundling Internet Explorer

as a free web browser.

A few values early on on the graph have been interpolated, as reliable data was scarce

before 1998. A trendline has been automatically generated by the spreadsheet

software. Also, a measure of statistical confidence in the trendline has been added.

Here is the chart.
