Canadians spent an average 43.5 hours online per month in the final quarter of 2010, up from 42.2 hours in the final quarter of 2009, according to comScore’s Canada Digital Year in Review report. That’s more than Internet users in China (13.5 hours), the United States (35.3 hours) and the United Kingdom (32.3 hours) and nearly double the global average of 23.1 hours per month.

In the final quarter of 2010, the average Canadian Internet user visited 3,349 Web pages, down from 3,793 Web pages in the same quarter last year.

Canadians logged on to the Internet an average of 95.2 times per month in Q4, up from 88.8 times in the same time frame last year. ComScore measures an “Internet visit” as a unique log on to the Web in a given 30 minute time frame. So if a users logs onto the Web twice in a 15 minute span, that’s counted as only one visit.
