While the makers of the (N)Onliner Atlas are glad that the country has topped the 70 percent marker for the first time, they do point out that access to broadband Internet is still problematic. While expansion is slowly proceeding, not even half of the population uses broadband access. DSL lines make up 42.8 percent of all connections, although cable access has seen a significant increase from 3.3 to 4.5 percent of connections. Mobile Internet access remains relatively insignificant at just 1.9 percent, while 7 percent still use analogue dial-up services.
