Although the Digital Agenda target of 75 % of the EU population using the internet by 2015 had been achieved in 2014, the level of use is still below this target for ten Member States. Almost eight out of ten (79 %) used it regularly (on average at least once a week) at home, at work or elsewhere (Table 1). More than four fifths of people (82%) in the EU used the internet at least once in the three months prior to the survey in 2016. Lowest broadband connectivity rates were again registered for Bulgaria (63 %), Greece (68 %), Romania (70 %) and Lithuania (71 %). Shares higher than 90 % were registered for the Netherlands (95 %), Denmark and the United Kingdom (92 % each) and Finland (91 %). Luxembourg is the country which also displayed the highest proportion of households with broadband connection (97 %). Spain, Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Croatia also registered large increases (more than 20 percentage points) in the same period.įigure 3 shows the share of households with broadband access by country.
