96.0% of Peruvian households had internet in 2025, up sharply from 76.2% in 2019, according to the annual Erestel survey cited by telecom regulator Osiptel.
That gain points to a broad expansion in household connectivity over six years, bringing internet access close to universal coverage nationwide.
Mobile phone access was even more widespread, rising from 94.1% of homes in 2019 to 99.6% in 2025.
The figures from Osiptel's residential telecommunications survey show Peru narrowing the remaining gap in basic digital access as connectivity becomes a near-universal household service.
