About this ranking

Individuals who used the internet from any location in the last three months, as a percentage of the population. World Bank series from International Telecommunication Union (ITU) estimates.

Many values are ITU estimates rather than survey results, and the age range covered differs between countries.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
