Lack of Internet 'Costing Families £70 a Month'

A study by Post Office Broadband found that so-called "non-line" families could be losing out on monthly savings of up to £70 on household goods and services. The report defined "non-liners" as people who want to get online but are being held back from doing so, either through fear or a lack of tuition. Many recent studies have revealed that broadband would be one of the things people would not give up if they found they had to constrict their budget. The fact that the Internet offers price saving opportunities such as price comparison sites was hinted as a possible reason for the trend.
