•   Annual survey
•   Quarterly survey
•   Internet users by age
•   Internet users by disability
•   Summary of available published data
•   Links to publications
Internet Access surveys

• Internet Access - households and individuals - annual
• Internet Access - quarterly update
Annual survey

• ONS began publishing annual Internet Access
  estimates in 2006
• Some questions change each year as use of the
  Internet develops
• Sample size of 3,300 allows limited socio-
  demographic breakdowns
• Publication contains data on household Internet
  access and adults’ use of the Internet
Annual survey

In 2011:
• There were 17.6 million mobile phone Internet users,
   representing 45 per cent of Internet users
• 6 million people had accessed the Internet over their
   mobile phone for the first time in the last 12 months
• 4.9 million adults used wireless hotspots, almost
   double the number in 2010
• 77 per cent of households had Internet Access
Quarterly survey

• “Internet Access – Quarterly Update” introduced in
  response to Raceonline2012’s need for more data on
  Internet users and non-users
• Larger sample of 41,000 each quarter enables more
  detailed socio- demographic breakdowns than the
  annual survey
• Results from the quarterly and annual surveys are
  not directly comparable, due to different data sources
  and methodologies
• Quarterly estimates now regarded as the official UK
  estimates of ever or never used the Internet
Quarterly survey

At 2012 Q1
• 16 per cent of adults (8.1 million) had never used the
   Internet
• 84 per cent of adults (42.2 million) had ever used the
   Internet
• Non-users tend to be older, have disabilities and are
   on lower incomes
• Less than 1 per cent of 16-24 age group had never
   used the Internet
• 73 per cent of 75 + age group had never used it
