Surfing Statistics in Canada

I've been reading some rather interesting statistics lately about Internet usage in Canada. If you have, or are considering an internet presence of any kind, you should consider these statistics.

It's been noted for many years that Canada is one of the most on-line countries in the world, but according to a recent survey by comScore Networks, Canadians spend more time online than any other country. Canadians view over 30% more web pages than the average U.S. user, and more Canadians have high speed internet access than U.S. users as well. According to comScore, Canadians averaged 39.6 hours per month online overall, with broadband users spending nearly three times more hours online than narrowband users (41.3 hours per month versus 14.2 hours online). Almost 90% of internet users in Canada are using broadband, and an interesting note is that Canada has always held the lead among the G7, in the percentage of broadband subscribers. Canada and the U.S. account for more than 41% of internet access. Oh, and another interesting statistic is that Canada and the U.S. are the only two countries in the world where female users outnumber male users... by about 50%!

If you need to establish or reevaluate your on-line presence send me an e-mail or call and let's see what we can do to get you in touch with the largest internet audience in the world!
