New research from Point Topic<\/a> has revealed that global fixed broadband lines grew by 0.91% or 13.5 million in Q4 2024 (down from 1.44% in Q3 2024) to total 1.5 billion connections. The subscriber growth rate of \u201cfull fibre<\/em>\u201d (FTTP<\/a>\/B) networks also remained strong in the UK at 11.7%, putting us just two places behind the leading countries for growth.<\/p>\n

Once again South and East Asia has continued to claim the largest share of global fixed broadband subscribers, having increased it slightly in Q4 2024 to 50.99% (they also accounted for 54.62% of all new lines added in the quarter), which is mainly due to China\u2019s huge size. By comparison, the whole of Europe (inc. UK) only accounted for 17.61% of overall subscribers and 9.49% of quarterly net adds.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The report only examined the highest full fibre growth rates in the largest fibre markets \u2013 those with at least 0.5 million fibre broadband connections.<\/div>\n

The data also confirms that, overall, both cable (hybrid fibre coax) and copper (ADSL<\/a>, SDSL) based broadband connections continued to lose market share as full fibre lines cannibalised their customers. Between Q3 2024 and Q4 2024, copper-based broadband lines lost -0.21% of their market share, while cable lost -0.12% and even hybrid-fibre (FTTC<\/a>, G.fast<\/a>) lost -0.14%. At the same time, FTTP<\/a>\/B (FTTH<\/a>) grew by +0.28%.<\/p>\n

Put another way, full fibre broadband lines now account for 71.49% of the global market, while cable (coax) holds 14.03%, hybrid fibre is on 6.30%, copper sits with 5.04%, fixed wireless technologies have 2.33% and satellite<\/a>-based broadband solutions are on 0.44%. Both satellite<\/a> and wireless broadband services also saw a little bit of quarterly growth (0.07% and 0.13% respectively).<\/p>\n

The good news is that the United Kingdom continues to perform well for country-specific quarterly growth of FTTP<\/a>\/B subscribers in Q4 2024, which is despite recent slowdowns in build due to rising costs and competition. In Egypt, Venezuela, the UK, Greece and Algeria, the study recorded FTTP\/B quarterly growth rates of more than 10%. Some 29% of all fixed broadband connections in the UK are now FTTP\/B based.<\/p>\n
