The Dutch Are The Most Likely To ‘Borrow’ Their Neighbor’s WiFi<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

According to data collected by\u00a0Statista\u2019s Global Consumer Survey<\/a>, 18 percent of\u00a0Dutch<\/a>\u00a0online respondents said that they mainly access their internet at home via their neighbor or landlord\u2019s wireless connection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As Statista’s Anna Fleck notes, <\/em><\/a>this is more than double the rate of people in the other selected countries, with neighboring Germany and France both at seven percent.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, only 38 percent of respondents in the Netherlands had access to broadband and an additional 16 percent a mobile connection<\/strong> via smartphone or tablet in 2023.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the\u00a0United States<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0United Kingdom<\/a>\u00a0had lower rates of adults using their neighbors WiFi, at four percent and two percent, respectively. The U.S. also had a relatively low share of people with broadband, at 38 percent, while the UK\u2019s was higher at 68 percent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the reasons for this discrepancy are not fully clear from the data alone, it\u2019s interesting to note that breaking into an encrypted WiFi is not a criminal offense in the Netherlands,<\/strong> even though it is in other countries. Breaking into a computer, however, is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
