Korea has the highest internet access in the region.
While the country's overall internet access was found to be similar to

The researcher also found that internet users in Japan spent less time
online compared with users in other countries.
It added that while internet penetration in China remains low, users
there spent more time on the internet than in other countries.
Internet users in Singapore and Taiwan were also more likely to spend
longer periods online.
