Story: Broadband Britain to overtake dial-up

IP, disruptive times... the timeline of UK communications (from memory):

2000
Internet use (data) overtakes voice as traffic on UK landlines

2002
mobile overtakes landline for voice

2005
broadband overtakes dial-up for Internet access

Q -
the extent of VoIP use over broadband connections?

Feel free anyone to clarify my vague memory above, or add similar breakthrough moments....
