The latest research from Point Topic<\/a> has revealed that world fixed broadband lines grew by 1.6% (22.39 million) in Q3 2023 to total 1.42 billion connections, which compares with 1.87% (24.59m) in the same quarter last year. But the subscriber growth rate of \u201cfull fibre<\/em>\u201d (FTTP<\/a>\/B) networks in the UK almost stalled in the latest quarter.<\/p>\n

As usual, East Asia continued to dominate in Q3 2023, maintaining its position as the largest market with a 49.96% share of global fixed broadband subscribers, up from 49.62% in Q2 2023 – this is mainly due to China\u2019s market size. In fact, in terms of technology, China alone added 13 million new FTTP<\/a>\/B lines during the quarter. By comparison, the whole of Europe (inc. UK) accounted for just 3.85% of net adds in the last quarter.<\/p>\n

Speaking of broadband technologies, between Q2 2023 and Q3 2023, the share of FTTH<\/a>\/B connections in the total fixed broadband subscriptions went up by 0.62% and now accounts for 68.3%. The growth in full fibre take-up is naturally continuing to be fuelled by a decline in older copper-based DSL<\/a> \/ ADSL<\/a> broadband (down by 0.29% in Q3 to total 7.19%) lines and hybrid-fibre (FTTC<\/a>\/VDSL2<\/a>) services (down by 0.16% to total 6.96%).<\/p>\n

Similarly, cable (hybrid fibre coax) broadband connections, such as those delivered by many of Virgin Media<\/a>’s lines in the UK, also declined by 0.14% in the quarter to account for 15.26% of the global market. By comparison, wireless and satellite<\/a> based connections hardly figured into the table and remain largely stagnant.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s interesting to take a country-specific look at the quarterly growth of FTTP<\/a>\/B subscribers in Q3 2023, since the United Kingdom continues to be nowhere near the top list. Back in late 2021, and through much of 2022, it wasn’t uncommon to see the UK reporting a quarterly growth rate for related subscribers of between 12-13%. By comparison, Point Topic<\/a> has informed ISPreview that the UK’s growth rate fell to 1.5% in Q3 2023, which is down sharply from 9.2% in Q2 and puts us well outside the top 10.<\/p>\n

According to Point Topic<\/a>, FTTP and gigabit supply numbers are growing in the UK, but not as fast as people are dumping DSL<\/a>\/FTTC<\/a>. Some future restatements may even this out a bit, but the belief is that some of those dumping older fixed lines have instead been switching to mobile broadband (4G<\/a>\/5G<\/a>) connections, particularly those moving away from ancient DSL<\/a> technologies or with lower bandwidth requirements.<\/p>\n

Point Topic’s report doesn’t really deal with mobile connectivity, but there are certainly indications that people in many poorly served (fixed line) areas are starting to see local mobile connectivity improve at a faster rate and so making the jump. Quite how big the impact of this will be is still unclear, but suffice to say that fixed line operators aren’t only competing with each other, but also mobile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
