The latest research from GfK has revealed that Europe's top Internet surfers live in the Nordic states of Iceland and Scandinavia. It's estimated that 88% of Iceland’s population aged 14 and above make regular use of the Internet, which compares with 63% in Britain. We've broken the figures down as follows:

1. Iceland - 88%


2. Finland - 81%


3. Norway - 76%


4. Denmark - 76%


5. Sweden - 73%


6. Austria - 67%


7. Britain - 63%


8. Germany - 61%


9. Slovenia - 61%


10. Estonia - 60%


11. France - 56%


12. Italy - 53%


13. Ireland - 45%


14. Portugal - 43%


15. Spain - 35%


16. Malta - 25%

The report highlights a clear divide between Eastern Europe and the better developed Western Europe, although Slovenia and Estonia appear to be noted exceptions to that rule.
