Objectives. Some studies show a high consumption of Internet at any age. Internet use has spread to all places because mobile devices has more performance and conectivividad.

Method. We used a cross-sectional study to describe the case. The data collection instrument is a autocompletable online questionnaire. Anonymous and voluntary. 809 students responded (18.16% of total).
Results. The results show that Internet use by college students is widespread, especially through laptops and mobile phones, used at home and at the university. No significant differences with regard to gender, but there are differences with respect to age: younger students have higher levels of Internet addiction.
Conclusion. Internet addiction is not an alarming phenomenon in the sample, but a fact to which we must pay attention.
