    It seems Norway have an astonishing 50%+ accessing the Internet using ISDN - http://www.netvalue.com/corp/presse/cp0035.htm with a total of 5% now accessing via some form of broadband. Ws it Martin who was looking for these stats?

    Same in Germany. They've been real ISDN freaks since years and years ago.......although far bigger population.

    I just read an article on The Register which says that 13% of households in Denmark and Sweden have broadband Internet access.

    PS: I don't know anyone in Germany who DOESN'T have an ISDN line. But then again, ISDN is irrelevant: unless you listen to an Eircom marketing droid, you'll quickly come to realize that it's terribly old technology. I guess that's why the line rental for an ISDN line costs just £8/month over there.

    they treat isdn the same as plain old telephone lines, in those places, which really it is

    The Register has an article about Britain being second bottom in this league table.

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/22/21955.html

    Sweden 13.8
    Denmark 13.2
    Germany 7.8
    France 6.4
    Spain 6.2
    Norway 5.1
    UK 2.3
    Italy .9

    Ireland would be something below the Italy with .001 %

    It looks as if the percentage of broadband users in Sweden now is about the same as the percentage of Internet users in Ireland a couple of years ago.

    Ireland is second to none (from the bottom!).

    Also I know there are a lot of "claims" that 30-something percent of people have access to the Internet here. If you look at most of the methodology though, you quickly come to realise that they also include people who access the Internet from work, etc.. The figures from Sweden though ONLY include people accessing the Internet from home.

    I don't know how right or wrong these results are, but does it surprise any of you?
    But yes, it does prove what people already believed.
