The report, from research firm Continental predicts five million homes will have Internet access by January 2000, and attributes the increase to the introduction of free access from ISPs like Freeserve.

Nearly 40 percent of the UK population has access to the Internet, either at home, work or school. The report found that 83 percent of full-time students over fifteen have access to the Web -- nearly twice the number of UK employees.
