STATISTICS: INTERNET



Internet Activities (Canada)
  • In a February 1999 study, Toronto-based research firm ComQUEST revealed the following about how Canadians spend their time on the Internet.

  • More than half the Canadian population (55 per cent or 13.5 million users) have Internet access.

  • More than one quarter of the population uses the Internet at least once a week (26 per cent or 7.6 million).

  • The percentage of Canadians with Internet access is up 37 per cent from 1996.

  • Home use of the Internet in Canada is growing at a faster pace than at-work access, due mostly to lower access fees.

  • Canadian men are more likely to access the Internet from home than women.

  • More than 60 per cent of Canadian home users spend more than 3 hours online each week.

  • At work, 56 per cent of Canadian users spend less than 3 hours on the Web each week.
