Talk:List of countries by number of Internet users

Untitled

Please read this before updating the figures in the article:

% Reality Checks (Babies use Internet?)

Looking at some of the alleged user %'s (e.g. Bermuda over 98%) one can only conclude Bermuda has a lot of highly connected infants and toddlers. When getting population and user data you need to define A) the number of people who could REALISTICALLY use the Internet and B) the number of UNIQUE users of the Internet.

Both numbers are hard to get so when I see a number above 98% or even 96% I am HIGHLY skeptical that this % is accurately reflecting A or B.

Look I wrote what is written in official ITU report about internet users. If they are wrong then this is wrong too. Everybody knows that it's not possible to have 100% of internet users, but it's okay info to know that somewhere is good enough penetration of internet users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.18.63.165 (talk) 12:02, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

New column

Maybe someone who adds a new column with the % of connected users in those countries?

I mean, Mexico has 22 M internet users and Spain 18 M... in absolute terms, so we can think: oh, Mexico is more connected than Spain! Wrong. If you see the percentage, you'll see Mexico (105 M inhabitants) has only a 20% of internet users, whereas Spain (45 M and 20M internet users in 2007) has a near 44% of internet users.

Dear anonymous stranger, I have now added a coloumn like this. Next time you might contribute by doing it yourself, as all the needed population data are available on Wikipedia. Bosse Klykken (talk) 19:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Falkland islands (malvinas)

Every human being in the falkland islands uses the internet? What source exactly says that? --189.216.156.137 (talk) 22:53, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Why are sources being mixed?

Information from Internet World Stats is used for almost all of the countries. Two exceptions appear to be China and Mexico. I am not sure why there are separate sources for China and Mexico, since Internet World Stats has data for these two countries. Wouldn't it be better to use one source for this information? Otherwise, the door is opened to using a vast array or sources which all use vastly different methodologies. Furthermore, there is a lot of conflicting information out there regarding, for example, the number of internet users in China. Using the Internet World Stats data would solve this problem. Dagojr (talk) 18:31, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

india was just recently changed from what internet world stats had, I think we should keep to a single source or at the least, cite the changes. until a citation for new numbers appears, I'm reverting the change. --71.191.173.80 (talk) 20:21, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Source reliability ?

InternetWorldStats.com does not appear to me as a reliable source since it just published numbers without any way to access them or even to access the methodology to compute the number. Note that the organisation hidden behind the website is a marketing agency with no specific experience (IMHK) nor known expertise on global statistics except their "InternetWorldStats.com" site. It appears to be that this site is used by many people as a reference but could anyone provide clues on its reliability ? If not I suggest to use other numbers and sources. G.Dupont (talk) 14:58, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree. It seems that the data is good for 2008, not 2010. Someone should change those dates 09:16, 5 December 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.117.185.0 (talk)

Users in Palestine and other countries

There are just over 300 users in Palestine?I guess I know most of them!there are over 4 major companies that provide access to the internet in Palestine just for 300 users! Even in other countries the numbers don't make any sense!

and in the title it says (thousands)..so there are 300000 users in Palestine?!maybe but that would mean there are 1900000000000 users in China-more that there are people! The list needs serious work — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexmlo (talk • contribs) 14:22, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Reversions by User:Kkm010

User:Kkm010 continues to revert this article, stating in the edit summary that I'm "juggling with the figures" and that I've failed to provide a relevant source to back up the data.

The number of Internet users is derived from this list compiled by the International Telecommunication Union showing the number of Internet users as a percentage of the population in 2010 (which is properly referenced in the article). The absolute numbers for each country are calculated using country population data from the US Census Bureau International Data Base (also properly referenced in the article).

The International Telecommunication Union is an authoritative and reliable source. The previous source for this article, "Internet World Stats", is not a reliable source and has a narrower coverage of countries. I will consult with a third party if you continue to revert the article. Pristino (talk) 14:52, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

The figure that you have put in China and India, number of users are much higher. China has close to 500 million and India has over 100 million users. While this data shows too low, secondly India has actually became third largest number of internet users.--Kkm010* ^{۩ ۞} 11:54, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

New/updated country table

At 06:54, 14 April 2012‎ 39.215.161.70 made a large number of changes to the figures in the country table/list without entering an edit summary. Many of the changes didn't seem to make sense and a number no longer matched the 2010 figures from the ITU. Rather than try to sort this out or simply revert the changes, I decided to start over and recreate the table using 2010 Internet users percentage data from the ITU and 2010 country population data from the U.S. Census Bureau or in a few cases from Wikipedia. The table is slightly reformatted: there are two Rank columns now, one for the percentage and the other for the number of Internet users; the country name is in the far left column; and there is a column for notes. The new/updated table was added a few minutes ago. Hopefully the references make it clearer how the table was created and what sources were used. At the least there are no longer any dead links. The next step is to redo the two world maps so that they are based on the same ITU and population data rather than data from Internet Worldstats and they are .svg rather than .png based. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 23:42, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't understand why you went through all that trouble. The table was perfectly fine before 39.215.161.70's vandalization. I've fixed the dead link now. Pristino (talk) 21:27, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I went through all that trouble because the sources for the previous table even before 39.215.161.70's vandalization were not clear. They seemed to be based on what was a deadlink. I wanted to get rid of the deadlink, which I did. The deadlink ref didn't have a date, but it did show that it was accessed on 31 September 2011. The new table from the ITU that I used and that was used to replace the deadlink in the current article doesn't have a date that is more specific than 2010, but it comes from a section of the ITU web site that was updated in December 2011. The name on the deadlink ref doesn't match the name of the new table from the ITU. So it was not and still is not clear how the old figures from September 2011 were related to the newer valid link and data from the ITU. I thought my changes with more explicit references and the notes column made things clearer and I knew for sure that all of the figures matched the figures from the new ITU table. Both the old current reference [9] on the Internet users column seems to imply that the figures in that column come from the U.S. Census Bureau and the UN, when in fact the figures are calculated using data from the ITU and the census data. I think my changes made that clearer. I also thought having two rank columns and moving them next to the data columns that they applied to made it clearer what was being ranked and it was useful to rank both the percentage and the number of Internet users rather than just the number of Internet users. Did my changes do any harm? Was there something wrong with them? Why did you revert? I'm inclined to restore my changes, but I'll wait a day or two first to see what responses we get here from you or others? -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 03:57, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I haven't done a country by country caparison of my version of the table with the previous version from before 39.215.161.70's vandalization, but a spot check shows that most entries are identical. There are two differences when a country's population wasn't available from the U.S. Census Bureau database since I used figures from Wikipedia and the previous version used figures from the UN. I'd be happy to switch to figures from the UN for the missing census data cases or even for all of the countries. I have a spreadsheet that generates the table, so changes of this sort are fairly easy. My version does include roughly 15 countries or regions that aren't in the previous version. These "extra" countries are in the ITU table, but with data prior to 2010. In such cases I gave the actual year in the notes column. My version rounds to the nearest whole percentage for values 10% or larger and to one decimal place for values less than 10%. I did this mostly because I think fewer decimal places makes the table easier to read, but also because I think using percentage values with two decimal places (ten thousandths) implies more accuracy than these estimates and projections really have. But if it would be better to include more decimal places the spreadsheet makes this easy to do. Neither version rounds the number of Internet users, but I worry that these figures too imply more accuracy then really exists. For example, do we really think that there were exactly 456,238,464 Internet users in China in 2010? I think we should consider rounding the number of Internet users to the nearest 1,000 or perhaps to the nearest 100 for countries with fewer than 10,000 people. And my version is initially ordered by the percentage ranking, while the previous version is initially ordered by the number of Internet users. I did this because the table is really driven by the percentage values from the ITU. Readers can sort the table by any column, so they can view the data in any number of ways. I don't feel strongly about this and the initial ranking displayed could easily be changed. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 16:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Another difference is that the previous version flags 14 sub-regions or territories that aren't countries in italics and doesn't include them in the ranking. My version doesn't flag sub-regions or territories differently and includes all of the entries in the table in the rankings. This could be changed in my version without much effort, if desired. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 17:07, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

small browsers

On small-width browsers the tables are overlapping. Can someone move them so the text table and graphical tables are not next to each other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.218.145 (talk) 00:17, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

 Done - I made a change that avoids the overlap when using narrow browser windows. The info boxes, graphs, and maps are still next to the country table, but when the window is too narrow to display both side by side, the browsers should add a scroll bar so you can window to the right and left to see everything. At least this seems to work for Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari. Let us know, if it doesn't work well for some other browsers. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 22:53, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

"internetworldstats" as source

Please don't add data from "internetworldstats"! Their data is complete crap. They don't give reliable sources and have huge errors in their database. One example is their page for Iran. They say the Iranian population increased by 10 million people from 2009 to 2010, and they state their source for some of the data is "ITU" without saying of which publication of ITU it is. But the ITU data used in the WP article clearly says something different and is mostly based on data from the Statistical Center of Iran. So the ITU data should be reliable, whereas "internetworldstats" is a site full of spam, obviously based on some kids playing with their keyboard. --92.73.29.89 (talk) 16:12, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

What's the issue with Indian numbers? It gets changed regularly (to put it over Japan) but I don't see any changes in the references. StasMalyga (talk) 21:35, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I wasn't careful enough to see the table is for 2010, makes sense. People who change it, please keep in mind that too. If one country has the data for 2012 and others for 2010 it loses sense, it's a huge leap and renders the table useless for comparison. Cheers. StasMalyga (talk) 22:55, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Have same page (table)like this for 2010, but with new numbers. Can be written list of internet users by country in 2011. And have links on both pages that peoples can on easy way check it, precise not searching again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.178.143.23 (talk) 14:40, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

My suggestion is to keep the 2010 figures and add the 2011 figures as two new columns. That way this article will start to give a little bit of the history of changes in the number of Internet users. Because the ITU data only gives a percentage of the population, one needs to get population figures for 2011 for each country and do a little math to come up with the count of the number of users. I have a spreadsheet that does that for 2010 and would be willing to add 2011, unless someone else really wants to do this. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 18:29, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

The 2011 ITU data already mentions both total users and users as percentage of the population. It even adds a column for number of users per 100 inhabitants. I support adding 2 new columns to this page itself. Thanks! Anir1uph (talk) 18:52, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Watch out. The ITU report talks about "Percentage of individuals using the Internet" and "Fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions: Total and Per 100 inhabitants". Those are different things. This article is about the former and not the later. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 20:28, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Agree, so the populations figures would be needed. Anir1uph (talk) 21:06, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Rank-order column (1,2,3) should be static and separate

See Help:Sorting#Initial alphabetical sort versus initial sort by rank order. See the section about adding a separate, static rank column (1,2,3) next to a table. This makes the table easier to update. --Timeshifter (talk) 03:36, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

But is the goal to have a table that is easy to update or is it to have a table that has useful information? I think it is the later rather than the former. Also, because this table should be updated pretty much all at once from a single common source, maintaining a rank column isn't really very hard to do. It would seem that the guidance about rank order applies more to cases where the rows in the table are updated independently from each other from several sources at different times. That isn't the case here. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 11:27, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Be interesting if there was software than allowed us to just put hashtags or something in the rank column, which display as numbers. That's be easy and useful. CMD (talk) 17:57, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

See: Help:Sorting#Adding a separate, static rank column (1,2,3) next to a table. You can have easier rank ordering if you use a static rank order column. See that section about adding a separate, static rank column (1,2,3) next to a table. This makes the table easier to maintain and update, all while maintaining the table in rank order. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:24, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Have any editors complained that the table in this article is difficult to maintain because of the rank order column? For the reasons I stated above, I haven't found it hard.

It seems that there are two or perhaps three questions here. All of them have to do with ease of updating.

1. How should the table be sorted initially? In rank order as it is now or alphabetically be country?
2. Should the table continue to include a dynamic rank order column or should the column be removed?
3. Should the current dynamic rank order column be replaced by a static rank order column?

For myself:

1. I like the current initial sort by rank order. If someone wants the table in alpha order by country, it is easy enough for them to sort the table in that or other ways.
2. I think rank order adds useful information to the table and so I'd like to keep it.
3. I like dynamic rank order since if I sort the table into alpha order by country I still know the rank of a given country without having to sort the table into a different order. I don't know what good a static rank order is when the table is sorted into alpha order by country. Right now the rank order only applies to "official" countries and omits sub-regions and disputed territories even though there are rows in the table for those regions. Static rank order will not work for that.

I think we should be most concerned about how to make the table useful for readers and we should be less interested in how easy it is for editors to maintain the table.

--Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 23:12, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

That depends on how many people you have updating the table. I think static rank order is better for this table. It is much easier when updating a long table like this. I don't think people are that concerned about the combination of "official" countries, sub-regions, and disputed territories. Also, there are 2 data columns in this table. So static rank order is useful there too. Otherwise, only one of the data columns can be ranked. --Timeshifter (talk) 10:36, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

New data comes out from the ITU once a year, so this table will generally be updated once a year by a single person. Given the data that is provided by the ITU, country population data from another source and some math is required to generate the second column. I do that using a spreadsheet. I generate the rank order using the same spreadsheet. I generate the wiki markup using the spreadsheet too and copy and paste it into the article. Using the spreadsheet is a lot easier and less error prone than updating the table by hand. And it makes the issue of static vs. dynamic rank order columns irrelevant. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 11:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Many people, myself included, would be more interested in ranking the percentage of the population using the internet rather than just the total number in a country, sub-region, or territory. Using a separate rank column allows this to happen. --Timeshifter (talk) 10:36, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Adding a second column for ranking the percentage would provide this information and would allow someone to compare the number and percentage ranks without having to resort and remember one or the other rank. I think that that is a better solution to this particular issue. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 11:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Can your spreadsheet add that second column of ranks? The more complicated this becomes the less likely this list is to be maintained once you stop editing it.

As for finding both ranks, a separate rank column makes this easy. If someone wants to compare all they have to do is click the sort button for the column of interest. We need to discourage multiple rank columns because it makes more and more lists dependent on one person's editing. Many list pages have tables with 3 or more data columns.

I use various quicker methods to create lists. I usually put the list in the order of the source. If the source is in alphabetical order I put the list here in alphabetical order. It the source is in rank order I put the list here in rank order. I try to use the simplest method, knowing that I am not likely to maintain a list longterm. I also try to explain my tools and methods on the talk page, so that future editors can use them. Or I create a user subpage with the info, or some other page elsewhere, and I link to it. --Timeshifter (talk) 12:24, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

the problem with using data from internetworldstats

http://www.internetworldstats.com/list2.htm the problem with this site is that they heavily influenced by CIA worldfact data or other outdated sources, they look at the internet penetration by various data of the goverments and so on to use these percentage with cia population data for countries. But the cia population data and other data they use is often outdated. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2119rank.html?countryName=Russia&countryCode=rs&regionCode=cas&rank=9#rs

Russia is a good example they say it has only 138 million people its obviously wrong as russias population is 143 million people even cia updated it but its still not 100% accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population I know that cia used to count russias population at 138 million people back then but now it changed since russians make more children now, and more immigrants come to the country. They are also other countries which are heavily over estimated by them like turkey which only has a population of 74 million people but the internetworldstats counts still 78 million. The wikipedia article who collects data from official governments should be the only one being used.

New info from ITU for 2012.

http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/icteye/Reporting/ShowReportFrame.aspx?ReportName=/BDT/DynamicReportPublic&ReportFormat=HTML4.0&RP_intLanguageID=1&RP_strCodeIDs=11624&RP_intClassID=1&RP_strCountryIDs=&RP_bitLatest=True&RP_intYearFrom=-1&RP_intYearTo=-1&RP_strGroupping=rbLatestCty_rCod_rYer_c

Some odd things which I see are: Eritrea has 6% here on wiki, but ITU says 0.8. Maybe they made mistake and should be 6.8 Precisely I don't think that it's mistake here.

Palestine info isn't visible in new infos, so should stay that from 2011 which is 41.08% (not 55 as it's written here) http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/icteye/Reporting/ShowReportFrame.aspx?ReportName=/BDT/DynamicReportPublic&ReportFormat=HTML4.0&RP_intLanguageID=1&RP_strCodeIDs=11624&RP_intClassID=0&RP_strCountryIDs=308&RP_bitLatest=True&RP_intYearFrom=-1&RP_intYearTo=-1&RP_strGroupping=rbLatestCty_rCod_rYer_c

And South Sudan doesn't have info either, but it is on list of countries.

UAE has other population info on their wiki page which is 8 million and not 4, so it should be checked. (just mentioning, but I'm sure you will find newest info about population in each country)

Taiwan too doesn't have infos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.178.222.27 (talk) 20:11, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

It looks like the ITU spreadsheet, Percentage of Individuals using the Internet, available at http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Documents/statistics/2013/Individuals_Internet_2000-2012.xls, has been updated to include data for 2012 as well. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 21:11, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

 Done. The article has been updated to use the 2012 figures from the ITU. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 02:11, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Pakistan

According to the 2012 ITU penetration number (9.96) and the population number from the US Census Bureau (193,238,868) the number of internet user in Pakistan should be 19,246,591 which is higher than the number stated in the table (18,960,037). Even further still a June 2013 report states that number of Internet users in Pakistan has crossed the 30m mark. So shouldn't the number in the table be changed?. Wiki.0hlic_(Talk)

 Not done. I think the figures for Pakistan in the table now are correct. The table uses data for 2012 from the ITU and from the U.S. Census Bureau. The percentage penetration figure for 2012 given in the ITU spreadsheet is 9.9637. This is rounded to two decimal places for display in the ITU spreadsheet (9.96) and to one decimal place in the table (10.0). The 2012 population figure for Pakistan from the U.S. Census Bureau is 190,291,129. 193,238,868 is the figure for 2013. Doing the math (190,291,129 * .099637) gives 18,960,037 which is the figure shown in the table. We don't want to move to data from 2013 for Pakistan until we can make the same move for all of the countries shown in the table. And we don't want to mix ITU data from 2012 with population figures from 2013. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 02:52, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Internet in Belgium

This conversation started on my talk page, but I thought I'd move it here where more people might see it. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 17:44, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I saw your note with an edit to Internet in Belgium. I had looked at the spreadsheet and didn't see number of users or a way to figure the ranking for number of users. I'm curious how you got the figure. Did you cross reference that table with population data for all the countries to find the number of Internet users in each country? That sounds like a ton of work - there must be a better way. I'm wondering how you came up with the 8.6 million figure. I just ran the question on Wolfram Alpha and it gives a figure of 9.1 million also with 82%, but it doesn't explain the source of their figures so I wouldn't call it a reliable source. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity, SchreiberBike talk 02:59, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

The figures in the "Internet in Belgium" article (and a lot of other "Internet in xxxx" articles) comes from the List of countries by number of Internet users article. They use data from the ITU as a common source. The ITU gives a percentage as you saw. The total population for most countries comes from figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. And the rest is simple math. It is a bit of work, but not too bad since you can get the data into a common spreadsheet using copy and paste and matching the country names from the two sources can be automated too. There are two notes, one for the population column and one for the percentage column in the article that try to explain what was done and some additional information on the talk page. We try to use data from a single source (the ITU) for all countries and to update the figures for all countries at the same time so that the figures will be comparable. This has the side effect of only needing to be updated once a year since the ITU data is updated once a year. And that cuts down on the work a bit.

--Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 12:46, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your clear explanation. Seeing that you are using the figures for multiple countries' articles, that sounds like a good approach. SchreiberBike talk 17:32, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Why only removing Bangladesh? there are other countries like Pakistan, Palestine, Niue, Falkland islands, Ascension which are using figures from other source. Akib.H (talk) 17:54, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes, the article needs some work. And new, more up-to-date figures are available from the ITU. So, my thought is to update all of the figures for all of the countries. That should get this article back into sync. It may take me a few days to get around to doing this work. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 00:20, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

At 16:10 on 7 June 2015‎ User:Us441 updated the the list to use the ITU's figures for 2013, the most recent country specific data available from the ITU. In a few cases, when data for 2013 wasn't available, data from prior years was used and notes or refs were added to make it clear when this was necessary and what data was used. I'd like to thank us441 for this work. I'm sure it was a big job. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 21:25, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

 Not done. The 2014 figures from Internet Live Stats seem to be estimates based mostly on the 2013 data from the ITU. The ITU data for 2013 is, at least in part, based on estimates that the ITU made based on prior years data from the individual countries. It seems best to stick with the official ITU data and avoid estimates that are based on estimates. On 7 June 2015‎ User:Us441 updated the the list to use the ITU's figures for 2013. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 21:53, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Possible improvements?

After having spent most of the day working on updating this page, I have gotten to know it really well. However, here are some ideas that I feel should be discussed.

1. The data for the number of internet users is not from actual ITU estimates. Rather, they come from Wikipedians multiplying ITU estimates for penetration by population figures from another source. The penetration estimates are only 3-4 significant figures, so having the ITU estimates be precise numbers, especially in countries with large populations, seems very precise. Maybe it would be better to have internet user counts with 3-4 significant figures.

2. The term "penetration" is used to denote the percentage of population in each country using the internet. Although the meaning of the word "penetration" in this context is specified, and it is not very hard to figure out, I still believe that it might be better to do something more straightforward such as "percentage internet users" (maybe it would get too long, though.) Us441 (talk to me) (My piece) 21:18, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

On #1, I agree. I think it would be fine to round the number of Internet users to the nearest 1,000. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 22:05, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

On #2, I think using "Penetration" as the column heading as it is now is OK. As you say, it is explained toward the top of the article and other longer labels won't make a good column heading. But I don't feel strongly about this. An alternative might be "Percentage of population" which is longer, but perhaps not too long. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 22:05, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Number and percentage mismatch for Indian figures

I think there is some mismatch between total number of internet users and percentage/penetration figures. The list shows about 300.34 million users but percentage is given as 19.1% which I think is wrong or both the figures have been taken from different sources and for different years becasue 300.34 million of Indian population would be about 24-25% not 19% as the list shows. I think that needs to be updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.96.151.103 (talk) 14:51, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Population numbers are from this web page: List_of_countries_by_population_(United_Nations) and it's same data as World Bank population data for 2015.
Don't know what to do with Taiwan and similar nations which don't have info from 2015. I wrote from which year it is near number of internet users. Maybe that it's in note?

Only thing which I didn't make in table is ranking by %. It's too much work, so if anyone wants to make that feel free to do it. Don't know how to make these notes about sources, so any help is good. Text in paragraphs before China and after Ascension.

Wikipedia vs Worldbank internet percentages

I collected internet usage percentages via WorldBank API from 2016 and compared with this page. Many counts are close between these two sources, but there are exceptions. If you're interested, the comparison is in this Excel file.

Some of the outliers, at both extremes:

Country	Wikipedia	World Bank	Wp:WB
Bosnia and Herzegovina	58465	31323	126.7%
Serbia	5914748	2521887	125.0%
Moldova	2882322	2521887	114.3%
...
Gambia	263627	377123	69.9%
Congo Dem.Rep.	1661161	4889515	34.0%
Myanmar	662008	13258325	5.0%

Only what I see as difference is that Bosnia is huge difference in %, others are just rounded numbers. If you look on number of users then it could be difference, because I made by wiki population page and itu %, so if WB has different population stats it is different here. Anyway soon will be published new ITU stats for 2017., so will need to make new table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.201.224.23 (talk) 09:33, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Inaccuracies

Iceland is over 98%. Seeing this, I assumed the data must be for people over 18 years old (or some other minimum age). Because obviously, babies can't use the internet... The ITU must set a minimum age when getting internet penetration data from somebody, right?

So... if that theory (of the data only being from people over 18) was correct, and it seems logical: then it's established that the total number of internet users is defined, on this page, by multiplying the percent that use internet in a country by that of the country's population... and a country's population include babies, small children, etc. Perhaps the total number of internet users should be multiplying the % of ppl using internet by the population of citizens *over 18*, rather than just the total population. And then, also clarifying these numbers are for people over 18 only...

Can someone check through the source to see if the data is set to a minimum age like 18? Because it wouldn't make sense that 2 year olds in Iceland go on the internet... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:186:4301:20E:9DEE:E087:6180:6C03 (talk) 13:49, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Additionally, people keep changing some of the values for India and China to values that are clearly wrong. China's population is not 2.4 billion, the number of internet users is not 90 million, 90 million divided by 2.4 billion is not 63%, and India's internet users is not 1 billion more than its population. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.30.133 (talk) 21:33, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

About changes for pakistan and other countries

As name of page says there should be number of internet users for 2016. year and earlier. Official data is from ITU and world bank. Those are used here.

Last available data form those 2 is for 2017., but more than half countries don't have data for 2017., so I'm waiting for answer from ITU will they add data for them or not. If there will not be data for 2017. for those nations I or anyone else can update this page with data of 2017. In 1'st paragraph there should be changed to 2017. year and all old data (so which don't have numbers for 2017) should have year 2016 near their number as like it's now for some small (island) nations (like San marino, Montserrat, Niue...). http://prntscr.com/mcr2tw There is no use of this table if we will make data from different sources, because some aren't reliable.

So if you have time and will you can make 2017. data from this page. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IT.NET.USER.ZS And population numbers of 2017. List_of_countries_by_population_(United_Nations)

If not I will do it when I get answer from ITU. It could be in month or even more, but don't update pakistan, india, china...... numbers of 2018 year and later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.201.136.9 (talk) 09:15, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

I got answer from ITU and here is complete info about internet users per country for 2017., so anyone can update whole table. https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Pages/stat/default.aspx?fbclid=IwAR1S20pqvs_NkwSKXUXEgHsEfXtwWupbtGc3-SzfNmY2fqdhlemgjzD05Fg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.18.62.155 (talk) 16:54, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Confusing Data about the internet users of Pakistan

While the list of 'Number of Internet users as of 2017' comprise from ITU 2017 reports, suddenly Pakistan is showing data of December 2018 from its own telecommunication authority website which left the list unreliable in the sense of ranking. I don't think it is fair in any means and very misleading. - Tarunno (talk) 11:23, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

As I said in paragraph before yours official data in 99.999 countries is from 2016which I updated back then. Few users non stop change for their countries (pakistan, bangladesh, india....) with data of 2018. If someone wants can update whole table with infos from those links which are official ITU info for 2017. But it's easier to change for their country and with wrong data.

Official ITU infos for 2017.

LIST INTERNET USERS FRANCE

The number of internet users for France is wrong on your list. It was already over 55 million in 2016. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.200.72.245 (talk) 08:41, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

I go by official ITU info for % of internet users and UN info for population. That number gets when you do calculation.

"List of countries by number of internet users (redirects)" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect List of countries by number of internet users (redirects). Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Regards, SONIC678 21:25, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Can't find topic.

I'm for staying like it is, precisely like it was for last complete official data. I will try to make for last official data for 2018., but it's not full for all countries. Just maybe 50 countries got data for 2018. Now revert to that data for 2017.

To those who revert this page to not itu official infos should stop doing it. This whole page started with official ITU info and should continue like that. If you want to make it correct then go to itu page and take last infos for 2018. year. There are no infos for 2020.

Population of China

Why has China a population of only 49 million in this list?-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 23:53, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Was something mixed up here?

It seems there was a typo or something was switched up, but Colombia has about the population of China and China has about 49 million people. And Colombia is ranked second despite having only 33 million internet users. And there may be more layers to this. In any case, I'm just confused 71.193.153.230 (talk) 02:48, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Russia and Japan swapped

The sources for Russia and Japan seem to have been swapped leading to some inaccuracies in the table, such as the percentage of internet users in Japan being listed as 76% instead of 92% in the source. 69.181.124.197 (talk) 02:02, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Map update

I recommend updating the map to internet usage in either 2018 or 2020 as to keep the map somewhat accurate. 165.234.101.99 (talk) 14:51, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

More people use the internet then there are people

The webpage says that over 100% of people in Moldova and Monaco use the internet. Please fix this! 104.190.24.121 (talk) 20:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Netherlands (new data with bron)

The Dutch government's Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) has released the latest internet user data for the year 2023. You can find the updated information on their official website: CBS Internet User Data 2023. I'm not sure how to edit something, so If someone else wants to do it, please do. 185.155.220.176 (talk) 13:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Should we include historical data on this page?

I noticed there are some pages of country data which includes historical data (although several of them have their own seperate pages), and this one still hasn't have a historical section. (e.g. List of countries by largest historical GDP). So... should we include such data in this page as well? Sincerely, Icantthinkofanamexd (talk) 18:21, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
