Fiji's internet penetration has grown to 68% in 2026, yet a significant digital divide persists between urban and rural areas. Urban regions enjoy higher access (85%) due to better infrastructure, while rural communities lag at 45%, limiting opportunities for rural development and education. Efforts to expand rural connectivity could bridge this gap and promote inclusive growth.
The average data usage per user stands at 15 GB/month, indicating increased digital activity. However, only about half of the population possesses basic digital literacy skills. Improving digital literacy and expanding affordable internet access are crucial for fostering a more inclusive digital economy and ensuring equitable benefits across Fijian society.
