This statistic shows the daily internet usage rate of online users in Germany in 2016, sorted by age group. During the survey period, it was found that 94 percent of internet users between the ages of 25 and 34 were accessing the internet every day.
In 2015, 85 percent of private households in Germany had internet access, compared with 61 percent of private German households in 2006. This is slightly above the European average, with 80.7 percent of European households having an internet connection in 2016. Africa has the lowest rate of connected households, with 10.8 percent of households having access to the internet.
As one would expect, the number of broadband internet connections has increased significantly since 2006.
