The table shows how frequently people accessed the Internet in a European country between 2006 and 2010.
Overall, daily Internet use increased considerably over the period, becoming by far the most common frequency of access in 2010. In contrast, the proportion of people who never used the Internet fell dramatically. Weekly access rose at first before declining slightly, while accessing the Internet three times a month became less common.
In 2006, 36% of people accessed the Internet daily. This figure increased steadily to 45% in 2008 before rising sharply to 65% in 2009 and 72% in 2010. Weekly Internet use also increased from 15% in 2006 to a peak of 29% in 2008. However, it then decreased to 25% in 2009 and 22% in 2010.
The percentage of people accessing the Internet three times a month remained unchanged at 15% in 2006 and 2007, but then fell gradually to 5% by 2010.

By 2010, only 1% of people never accessed the Internet.
