Greece's digital connectivity is gaining speed
Greece ranks 69th globally in the Internet Accessibility Index, reflecting improvements in digital connectivity but still lagging behind many European countries.
Greece has been ranked 69th worldwide in the Internet Accessibility Index published by MoneySuperMarket, which evaluates how easy, fast, and affordable internet access is across dozens of countries. This ranking indicates that Greece is roughly in the middle of the global standings, showcasing a digital connectivity landscape that has improved in recent years but still falls short compared to many European markets.
The study assesses over 140 countries and combines nine specific criteria, including connection speeds, the cost of broadband and mobile data services, network coverage, the number of public Wi-Fi spots, and the percentage of the population with internet access. Positive aspects highlighted in the Greek market include a broad basic access to the internet for a significant portion of the population, as well as extensive mobile network coverage, which allows a large percentage of users to connect to the internet.
Despite these positive developments, Greece's position in the index suggests that while there has been progress in enhancing digital connectivity, there are still gaps that need addressing to reach the standards of more advanced European digital markets. This could have implications for economic growth, education, and overall digital inclusion in the country as it seeks to keep pace with global trends in internet accessibility and digital economy advancements.
