They don’t specify what the headline means and I can’t see a link to the survey questions or data. Feels like an ad rather than true research.

92% of adults in the UK were recent internet users in 2020, up from 91% in 2019.

Almost all adults aged 16 to 44 years in the UK were recent internet users (99%), compared with 54% of adults aged 75 years and over.
