Interenet usage grows again
Posted by: eusty on Tuesday, March 06, 2007 - 04:22 PM
Internet [General]

Internet usage grew by a hefty ten percent last year, but worryingly for ISPs in the UK we only managed to grow by  a paltry one percent which seems like the UK is reaching saturation point.

The figures are from a report by Comscore, who are a 'Global Internet Information Provider' which sounds like a nice title for data analysts. The increases are, as you would expect, in the developing countries, with India leading the way with a whopping 33 percent increase over last year, with China and Russia seeing good increases.

When it comes to the time we spend online it seems that we spend 31.2 hours each month surfing, with the figure increasing to 35.6 for broadband users. The top of the list was Canadians who spend over 39 hours online each month, possibly due to the cold dark nights over there!

The site also includes the most visited websites for the last year, with no surprises in the list. Although figures on website popularity are quite often a bone of contention Microsoft comes out unsurprisingly top of the list (all those Windows updates?) followed by Google and Yahoo.

If you fancy a peep at the tables the pop over to Comscore.
