In spring 2008, 83 per cent of people between the ages of 16 and 74 in Finland said they had used the Internet during the three months prior to the survey. The share had gone up by four percentage points from the previous year. Internet is also used regularly and often. As many as 80 per cent of its users said they did it daily or almost daily. Only five per cent had used the Internet monthly or less often. The daily use largely also applies to elderly people. As many as 60 per cent of the people aged between 65 and 74 who had used the web in the past three months said that they were daily users. Daily use is also widespread among the whole population. In 2008, the share of daily Internet users was 66 per cent among the total population aged between 16 and 74.
