Nearly 9 out of every 10 UK workers (88%) now regularly use email, the internet or both while at work; and most believe it improves the quality of their output, according to a survey.

The UK scored ahead of the USA in its use of online communications, ranking 13th out of the 28 countries in the survey, compared to the USA, which came 17th. The highest users were Hong Kong, Mexico, India, Thailand and Indonesia.
