Hi diamondgeezer and thanks for the question.

This is probably the website you are looking for.  You can view new
internet statistics every Friday (they will even e-mail them to you
every week!)   Itīs based in the UK and is UK/European biased (and yes
itīs FREE)

Also, have a look at this site that is almost entirely UK biased, itīs
full of statistics
