"South Korea"s dominance in broadband penetration is attributable in part to its highly urbanized population, as well as to the existence of a comprehensive government-backed broadband policy," reads the report on the rankings including 58 leading countries worldwide.
South Korea is followed by Singapore (88 percent of its population having access to the Internet via broadband), the Netherlands (85 percent).
Denmark, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Israel, Switzerland, Canada and Norway are among the top ten on this list.
Croatia finishes 43rd with 23 percent. Its western neighbour Slovenia is put in the 21st place (58 percent) just below the United States with 60 percent.
