Internet usage locations by age UK 2015

This statistic displays the results on a survey on internet usage locations in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2015, by user age. In 2015, most respondents in younger age groups reported using the internet at home and elsewhere, while 38 percent of users aged 65 to 74 reported using the internet at home only. The older the age group the more likely respondents were to no use the internet at all. In 2015, it was found that 65 percent of those aged 75 years or older did not use the internet. Apart from this group we can also see that the home use grows the older the group of respondents is. Overall two thirds of respondents used the internet at home and elsewhere.
