There was a strong increase in the internet usage in the UK in 2006, but now there has been a decrease due to the economy downfall. The city of London has the highest concentration of internet usage and connections, with 83% of the households connected with the internet.

There has always been a considerable increase in these countries when it comes to internet usage and connections every year.
