It means that 42.16 million grown-ups - or 83.7 per cent of the adult population - had used the web by March 31st, with men (86.1 per cent) found to be more likely to have accessed the internet than women (81.3 per cent). The highest proportion of internet users was recorded in south-east England at 86.9 per cent, while Northern Ireland had the lowest at 75.1 per cent. Kristine Olson, director of sales and loyalty at TalkTalk, commented: "It is great that so many more people are benefiting from all the internet has to offer, but the figures show there is still a long way to go."
