The European Commission<\/a> recently published their annual 2022 Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), which charts how the EU’s fixed line broadband ISP and mobile networks compare across all of its 27 countries. The UK was removed from this report post-Brexit, but it’s still possible to see how we compare by using Ofcom<\/a>’s data.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. The EU’s main goal for digital infrastructure is for every European household to have access to “high-speed internet<\/em>” coverage by the end of 2025 (defined as 100Mbps+) and gigabit (1000Mbps+) connectivity by the end of 2030. Today’s new report, which is based on data from last year, is partly intended to help gauge the progress toward achieving those goals.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Both the EU and UK’s fixed broadband targets appear to be largely technology neutral, although Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) is usually preferred.<\/div>\n

By comparison, the UK’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme aims to extend gigabit-capable broadband to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025, before hopefully nationwide coverage (c. 99%) by around 2030 (here<\/a>). The public funding for this is focused upon aiding the final 20% of hardest to reach premises, where commercial deployments may struggle.<\/p>\n

According to Ofcom<\/a>’s latest data to January 2022 (roughly 6 months more recent than the EU’s data), some 96% of UK premises could access a 30Mbps+ connection, while 66% are able to access gigabit broadband (via FTTP<\/a> and Hybrid Fibre Coax) and that falls to 33% when only looking at FTTP<\/a>. As for mobile connectivity, over 98% of premises (outdoor) have access to 4G<\/a> and between 47-62% can access 5G<\/a> from at least one operator.<\/p>\n

Now let’s see how the EU compares more generally, before taking a country-specific look.<\/p>\n

\"eu-desi-2022-overall\"<\/p>\n

We should point out that NGA<\/strong> (Next Generation Access) broadband generally means fixed lines that can deliver so-called “superfast<\/em>” download speeds (30Mbps+<\/strong>) above, while VHCN<\/strong> networks are really just another way of identifying both gigabit-capable FTTP and DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 \/ Hybrid Fibre Coax or better networks.<\/p>\n

The UK clearly does a better job than the EU for NGA, and we’re not far behind for VHCN, although FTTP coverage remains somewhat of a weak point and this becomes clearer when you look at the country-specific breakdowns below. None of this is surprising because some EU states have been rolling out FTTP, at scale, for a decade longer than the UK.<\/p>\n

\"eu-desi-2022-nga-broadband-coverage\"<\/p>\n

\"eu-desi-2022-VHCN-broadband-coverage\"<\/p>\n

Malta is leading the pack above with 100% of VHCN coverage, followed by Luxembourg, De<\/span>nmark <\/span>Spain, Latvia, the Netherlands and Portugal with above 90% coverage. The poorest performers were<\/span> Greece (20%), Cyprus (41%), Italy (44%) and Austria (45%).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, the picture below is much more varied when we examine FTTP coverage, where some countries are a lot further ahead than others due to having started their deployments much earlier. Latvia, Spain, Portugal, Romania and Bulgaria are leading with at least or above 85% FTTP coverage.<\/p>\n

By comparison, Belgium, Germany and Greece are lagging behind the other EU countries, with below 20% FTTP coverage. The UK, had it been included, would probably place in the bottom third of this chart. However, the UK’s current pace of FTTP build is one of the fastest in the world (here<\/a>), so it’s not all bad news.<\/p>\n

Finally, rural FTTP coverage in the EU is much lower than overall coverage, standing at 34%. No surprise there as rural areas are often the last to benefit.<\/p>\n

\"eu-desi-2022-FTTP-broadband-coverage\"<\/p>\n

Comparing mobile network coverage is a little more challenging because Ofcom<\/a> has a different methodology to that of the EU and the definitions can differ, thus we’ll largely leave this one up to reader interpretation. Broadly speaking, the EU and UK appear to be at a similar level for 4G<\/a> coverage, but we’ve got a long way to go on 5G<\/a> and so does much of the EU.<\/p>\n

The highest 5G<\/a> coverage levels were recorded in Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands, all three being above 90%!<\/p>\n

\"eu-desi-2021-4g-mobile-coverage\"<\/p>\n

\"eu-desi-2021-5g-mobile-coverage\"<\/p>\n

The full report contains a lot more data, albeit covering areas that are harder to examine without directly comparable data for the UK to play with. Ofcom should be able to fill in some gaps when they publish their annual infrastructure report at the end of this year, but in the meantime you can check out the full DESI index below.<\/p>\n
