The infrastructure side covers four key indicators based on metrics around gigabit broadband, \u201c<em>decent fixed connectivity<\/em>\u201d (this isn\u2019t clearly defined), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> mobile connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the adoption side, several key indicators have been produced looking at the following categories: Online Households, Digital Skills, Security Online, Online Wellbeing, Access to Public Services, Affordability, the Digital Economy and Innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the UK managed to top the report again and beat the other G7 countries (France, USA, Germany, Canada, Italy and Japan), while also improving its general DCRI score from 84 in September 2024 to 86 today. Similarly, the UK&#8217;s &#8216;infrastructure&#8217; score also climbed from 89 to 90 over the same period, while our score for &#8216;adoption&#8217; increased a little from 82 to 83.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"padding: 0px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2025-uk-internet-statistics\/FarrPoint-2025-UK-Digital-Connectivity-Readiness-Index-Scores-by-Category.webp\" alt=\"FarrPoint-2025-UK-Digital-Connectivity-Readiness-Index-Scores-by-Category\"><\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s worth noting that the UK struggles on the &#8220;infrastructure&#8221; side when compared with the other G7 countries, which sees us ranking 4th &#8211; just above the USA and Italy. By comparison, Japan comes top for infrastructure, due to its excellent levels of gigabit broadband and mobile connectivity. But Japan only ranks 6th on adoption due to affordability issues, a lack of digital skills, and concerns about online wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"padding: 0px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2025-uk-internet-statistics\/FarrPoint-2025-G7-Countries-Digital-Connectivity-Readiness-Index-Ranks.webp\" alt=\"FarrPoint-2025-G7-Countries-Digital-Connectivity-Readiness-Index-Ranks\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Matthew Izatt-Lowry, Head of Economics at FarrPoint, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDigital connectivity is about more than just infrastructure.
