GVU's Sixth WWW User Survey General Graphs

Primary Place Of Access

Notes:

As with the Fifth survey, the majority of respondents report that they primarily access the web from home (63.6%). This is an increase from the Fifth survey where the percentage was 55.4%. In Europe, however, only 36.7% report having their primary access from home (most report having it from work).

Across all age groups, most access the web primarily from home, but that is especially true for users over age 50 (77.6%).
