I read it differently - 63% of people when asked will say that they directly use the internet. Most of the data seems to come from surveys, and some of the data notes seem to mention stuff around households being asked.

Im not sure a person using an internet connected ATM would count, or a person who uses the internet in some form at work but does not have a broadband connection at home etc

If you count indirect usage, I suspect the figure is much higher - ie do we really believe that c13% of Europe manages to get through a month without using the internet in any form? I’m a bit sceptical on this data as it appears to be poorly explained in terms of methodology (and some is even just forecast through a model).
