The trajectory has been consistently upward, with no plateaus or declines recorded throughout the measurement period. The most accelerated growth occurred between 2008 and 2017, when internet users jumped from 61% to 81.068% of the population—a gain of over 20 percentage points in nine years. This period captures the rapid digitalization across Caribbean economies and increased broadband availability.
