The internet develops rapidly in small-town Poland

More than half of the residents of central and northeast Poland know examples of people who have found a life partner through the internet. The average resident of these areas spends nearly six hours online daily, mainly for entertainment purposes, utilizing the resources of the global network. Residents of suburban Poland also commonly use e-services, and the percentage of local businesses that partially base their operations on the internet has increased to 55 percent this year. NEXERA has presented the results of its jubilee, proprietary report about five years of fiber optic in the daily life of small towns in Poland. 

"When we started our research in 2019, no one could predict that a pandemic would break out the following year, radically changing the role of the internet in everyday life. The observed changes primarily involved an extended time spent online and a dynamic growth in the popularity of e-services and e-entertainment. Our study has a unique character, and based on the information collected over five years, we can accurately determine the trends in internet usage in villages and small towns in central and northeast Poland," Jacek Wiśniewski, CEO of Nexera, commented on the research results.
