How Luxembourg goes online
Luxembourg changes language mid-sentence and the phone follows: a message in French, an invoice in German, an article in English, sometimes all within the same hour. WhatsApp and Facebook remain the ordinary channels, but the banking apps are what really matter, Spuerkeess among them, because almost everything here is paid by transfer and people are used to running their account from a pocket. In the evening many of them cross the border, and roaming is simply part of the commute.
Around 97.1%. With a population of about 680 thousand and 660 thousand online, roughly 20 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
