Related services were very popular up until about 2-3 years ago, when newer and faster fibre optic based connections started to make their mark.<\/p>\n<p>Since then the number of countries deploying ultrafast style pure fibre optic (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>\/P) and slower hybrid-fibre (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>\/x) solutions has increased and so too has the related network coverage, which has unsurprisingly resulted in many consumers upgrading their connections to faster fibre-based solutions.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of that we&#8217;ve seen a -15% decline in pure copper based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">DSL<\/a> broadband connections between Q3 2014 and Q3 2015, meanwhile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>\/P has surged +57% over the same period and hybrid-fibre (FTTx) jumped +14.4%.
