BTinternet, the narrowband ISP from BTopenworld, is crowing today because an independent survey reckons it's notched up one million customers.

Quoting from the latest NOP Bi-Annual Internet User Profile, BTinternet claims it enjoys the "second highest usage rates in the country".

BTinternet won't say who's out in front (no prizes for guessing that accolade belongs to Britain's biggest French ISP, Freeserve) but it's happy to say it's ahead of AOL UK.

The ISP of Britain's monster telco reckons it's doubled its user base in the last six months. And it's attracting some 29,000 new customers a week.

Which is great.

Isn't it nice to report on some good news from BT for a change don't you think? ®
