Band 8+: The chart below shows the percentage of households in four different countries that had internet access between 2000 and 2020. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line chart illustrates the proportion of households with access to the Internet in three countries over a twenty-year period from 2000 to 2020.

Overall, Internet access rose markedly in all three countries throughout the period. Country A consistently recorded the highest percentages, while Country C remained the least connected, despite experiencing substantial growth.

In 2000, only 20% of households in Country A had Internet access, compared with 10% in Country B and a mere 5% in Country C. Over the following decade, usage increased sharply across all three nations. By 2010, the figure for Country A had more than tripled to 65%, while Country B rose to 55%. During the same period, Country C also saw a significant rise, reaching 40%.

From 2010 onwards, growth continued at a steadier pace. By 2015, Internet penetration in Country A had climbed to 80%, followed by Country B at 70% and Country C at 60%. In the final year, Country A peaked at 90%, with Country B close behind at 85%, whereas Country C, although still the lowest, increased substantially to 75%.
