Currently 55% of people in the city use the web, above the national average of 52%.

Residents of the city are more enthusiastic about the world wide web as well.

Almost 90% said they were "satisfied" with their experiences online.

Work to spread the word about the web may take longer than we think, though.

Two thirds of those not yet online said they had no plans to use the internet.

Benefits of the web

More than a quarter of the 45% of offliners in Bristol said they would not even know what to use the 'net for.

The benefits of e-shopping, online banking and e-mail have some Bristolians in a spin.

One in four said they found the internet confusing, and half found it frustrating.

Obviously none of them have yet found the BBC Bristol website!

The research was carried out for Yellow Pages.

They have launched a new "Internet Guide" section in their directory for Bristol.
