A new report from uSwitch predicts that there will be 21 million homes connected to the internet by 2010, but only one million of these will use dial-up.

These figures reflect the recent news that nearly nine out of ten current internet users use broadband. uSwitch have predicted this figure based to the fact that in 2002 only 1.3 million internet users were connected via broadband, yet this soared to 14.5 million in 2007.

It's not the end of dial-up though, as it will continue in very limited number of connections, much the same as ISDN has disappeared from residential premises in recent years.
