The chart illustrates the proportions of houses in European countries—Germany, the United Kingdom, and Spain—provided with internet during the period from 2007 to 2019.
Overall, the bar chart indicates that, regardless of the time period, internet access to households consistently rose in all the European countries. However, Germany remained the largest country providing internet access to its houses, followed by the United Kingdom and Spain.
In 2007, the United Kingdom had just over 60% of houses with network access, while Germany already achieved slightly more than 70%. In contrast, Spain only had around 45% of houses with network accessibility. Over the next 4 years, the proportion of households with web connectivity increased dramatically. The British were able to provide network access to houses at just below 80%, whereas the Germans were at just over 80%, overtaking both the British and Spain.
In 2013, the Spanish government provided web connectivity to 70% of its households, while the Germans and British were already higher than 80%. Furthermore, in 2019, all European countries reached their peak. First, a majority of German houses had internet connection, at 95%. Second, around 92% of British households were given connection to the network. Finally, 90% of houses in Spain had internet access. From the bar chart, it is evident that the internet gained popularity among all three European countries.
