North of the border, Canada beat the US and the rest of the world for hours spent online. Canadians spend nearly 40 hours a month overall online, with broadband users spending over 41 hours a month online.
Of the top ten countries surveyed by comScore Networks broadband users were 3.1 times more likely to be online than narrowband users. Our comScore contact provided some data beyond their public press release that shows Canada has more than a 14 point lead in broadband penetration over the US, viewing over 33% more web pages than the average US user.
