Internet usage in Puerto Rico - statistics & facts
Despite facing important infrastructure challenges, particularly after being hit by Hurricane Maria in 2017 as well as other natural disasters in recent years, Puerto Rico had almost three-quarters of its more than three million inhabitants connected to the internet in 2019.
