Broadband take-up rises among older Brits, says Ofcom
Take-up of the technology has risen by nine percentage points for 65 to 74-year-olds.

Telecoms regulator Ofcom found take-up of broadband services across the UK rose by three percentage points this year when compared to 2009.
However, this rate of growth was significantly higher among older Brits, with the increase in broadband connections standing at nine percentage points for people aged between 65 and 74.
The over-75s almost matched this figure, with this demographic seeing take-up of the technology rise by eight percentage points.
Meanwhile, only 15 per cent of consumers said they have no intention of signing up for home broadband over the next 12 months, down from 20 per cent in 2009.
Ofcom's research follows on from a study published by the Office for National Statistics, which found 30.1 million UK adults use the internet on most days.
But 9.2 million had never used the web, with 60 per cent of these people aged 65 and over.
