How Anguilla goes online

The Valley is small enough that Facebook does the work of a newspaper, a noticeboard and a classifieds section. WhatsApp handles the private arrangements, from a lift to the airport to a booking at a restaurant. The local paper's site carries the official news, and tourism pages do the selling. Bank apps are used for most payments, and the island's coverage is good for its size. The main limit is not the network but the number of people: everyone already knows everyone, so the phone mostly saves walking.

Around 93.8%. With a population of about 16 thousand and 15 thousand online, roughly 1 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
