UK citizens spent over 34 hours viewing 3,440 web pages, compared to the 24 hours and 2,662 web pages that was the average.
The highest internet penetration was in Scandinavian countries, where over 80 per cent of the population used the Net.
Germany had the largest online population in numbers at 32.6 million users, although this was less than half the entire country's population.
