The European Commission (EC) has today published its annual E-Communications Household Survey<\/em> of around 28,000 people across all 27 member states (1,308 were in the UK), which revealed that 61% of EU households now have broadband access and this rises to 70% in the UK (down by -1% Dec 2011).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Overall, the proportion of EU households with fixed telephone access has remained fairly stable (70% in March 2013) since December 2011 (-1% decline) and that compares with 81% in the United Kingdom (+1% rise) over the same period. Some 68% of EU households also have an Internet connection (+4%) and this rises to 74% in the UK.<\/p>\n

The 68% of EU households with Internet access at home comprises 61% of households with broadband access, 4% with a slow dialup<\/a> (narrowband) connection and the 3% of respondents who “don’t know<\/em>” how they get online. In addition, 34% of EU citizens use the Internet to make phone calls at home (up from 27% in 2011).<\/p>\n

\"european<\/div>\n

It’s unclear precisely why the UK is one of only a few countries to suffer a slight decline but rising mobile uptake might have something to do with it. Some 91% of EU respondents said they had a mobile phone (unchanged from 2011) and in the United Kingdom this has increased by +2% to total 92%. On top of that 49% of EU citizens who have a mobile phone also have a subscription that includes mobile broadband \/ internet access (up by +14% since 2011), which rises to 65% in the UK.<\/p>\n

Why don’t some people have internet access?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The respondents who didn’t have internet access at home were also asked why they had not gone online and 65% of those said that it was because “no one in their household is interested in the Internet<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Otherwise 19% pointed to the cost, 7% “did not know what the Internet was<\/em>” and 6% said they had sufficient access outside of the home and thus saw no need for it). Finally 5% said they plan to go online in the next six months, 1% claimed they had no broadband coverage and the last 1% blamed “unsuitable content on the Internet<\/em>” for their lack of connectivity.<\/p>\n

Technology<\/span><\/h3>\n

Of all forms of broadband Internet connections, EU citizens were unsurprisingly most likely to use ADSL<\/a><\/strong> (xDSL) or a similar type of fixed line connection technology (58%). Respondents in Greece were most likely to use this method (87%) and respondents in Lithuania were least likely (16%). By comparison the UK scored 57%.<\/p>\n

Otherwise 18% of EU citizens use a cable<\/strong> service like Virgin Media<\/a> for broadband (16% in the UK), 9% made use of Mobile Broadband (6% in the UK), 6% went online with narrowband dialup<\/a><\/strong> or ISDN (3% in the UK), another 6% used fibre optic<\/strong> (e.g. FTTH<\/a>) connectivity (10% in the UK), 3% used a satellite<\/a><\/strong> service (8% in the UK) and practically nobody made any use of the somewhat defunct Powerline Broadband<\/strong> technology.<\/p>\n

However it’s not clear whether the xDSL stats also cover hybrid fibre<\/strong> (FTTC<\/a>) style solutions and we can seem room for confusion, especially given how related services can often also be advertised as either \u201cfibre optic\u201d or \u201cVDSL\u201d.<\/p>\n

In closing the survey also notes the proportion of respondents experiencing difficulties accessing online content and applications due to insufficient speed<\/strong> or downloading capacity. Respondents were most likely to have had these difficulties in France (54%), Romania (52%) and Bulgaria (51%), and least likely to have done so in Denmark (30%), Malta (27%) and Portugal (25%). In the UK some 54% said they’d experienced related problems.<\/p>\n

The full survey, which is linked below, contains a lot of useful information but it’s important to remember that this is based on a limited sample size and doesn\u2019t reflect actual availability of particular services (only consumer uptake).<\/p>\n
