ACT residents most internet savvy

The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) residents are the most internet savvy among the rest of the people in the subcontinent according to the recent Australian Bureau of Statistics report. ACT is the haven of the most active, Internet-connected citizens in the country.
According to the Canberra Times ACT News, around 96.8% of Canberrans are regularly online using their desktop and laptop computers, while 87% have access through their mobile devices. Due to their centralised population, 94% of Canberrans enjoy Internet connection at home, which is higher than the national average of 86%.
This is the first time that the bureau utilised its Household Use of Information Technology to measure the time that people spend online. The study reveals that those residing in ACT spend an online average of 11 hours per week more than other the states and territories. Kids and teenagers are the most frequent Internet users. Around the country, 97% of homes with children under 15 are connected to the Internet, in contrast to 82% of homes without children under the same age. Last year, the number of Australian households with access to the Internet from their homes has increased to 7.7 million or 86% of all households nationwide.
