How Bermuda goes online

Hamilton's business is finance, so its online habits are unusually corporate for a small island. Bank apps are used daily, and most people are comfortable with wire transfers, statements and the paperwork that offshore work involves. Facebook and WhatsApp cover the social side, from family to the sailing club, and the Royal Gazette is the site people check for official notices and court reports. The island is well connected, and the main frustration is usually the cost of a data plan rather than the signal.

Around 95.3%. With a population of about 64 thousand and 61 thousand online, roughly 3 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
