A new report into the state of Internet connectivity around Europe (price and speed) has today revealed that nearly one in five EU fixed broadband subscriptions went to a superfast broadband (30Mbps+) service but ultrafast connections (100Mbps+) are still rare, with penetration (subscriptions as a % of population) standing at just 1.2% (0.4% in the UK).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In fact the European Commission<\/a> has actually published several new studies today, which represents a fairly significant shotgun blast of data collected from different sources like SamKnows<\/a> and Point Topic<\/a>. Needless to say that attempting to assimilate all of them at the same time could be a little painful and so we’ve done a simplified summary of the most interesting bits below.<\/p>\n

The EU\/UK Broadband Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Broadband access in the EU (subscriptions and technology)<\/a><\/p>\n

* e-Communications Household Survey<\/a><\/p>\n

* SamKnows study of Internet speeds<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take note that the first report (broadband access in the EU) has a tendency to mangle recent figures from July 2013 with some confusing explanations and a lack of up-to-date coverage data, which sometimes makes it difficult to be confident of what their results are saying.<\/p>\n

The report(s) should also be taken in the context of Europe’s Digital Agenda <\/strong>strategy, which aims for everybody in the EU to have access to a 30Mbps+ (Megabits per second) capable broadband service (with 50% subscribed to a 100Mbps+ connection) by 2020.<\/p>\n

Broadband access in the EU<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Overall broadband subscriptions are getting faster and there were 5.4 subscriptions (6.9 in the UK) of at least 30Mbps<\/strong> per 100 people (up from 3.4 a year ago), although sadly this falls to just 1.2 for “ultrafast<\/em>” speeds of 100Mbps+ (0.4 in the UK). As you’d expect the countries with more Next Generation Access<\/strong> (NGA) coverage\/availability tend to have higher take-up.<\/p>\n

\"eu_july2013_30mbps_penetration\"<\/p>\n

\"eu<\/p>\n

Cable (Docsis<\/a> 3.0), which is used by Virgin Media<\/a> in the UK, is also the most widely used Next Generation Access<\/strong> (NGA) technology in the EU with more than 50% of NGA subscriptions and more than 90% of European cable networks now support it.<\/p>\n

The report claims that “much weaker progress can be observed regarding VDSL<\/em>” (aka – FTTC<\/a> from BT<\/a>). Although VDSL subscriptions increased by 86% in the last twelve months, they still only represent 5% of all xDSL connections (VDSL + ADSL<\/a> etc.).<\/p>\n

It is also to be noted that VDSL availability (24.9% of homes) falls well below that of cable NGA (39.4%), although in the UK VDSL\/FTTC coverage is now superior to cable and covers around two-thirds of the country but FTTC uptake is slower here because cable achieved strong NGA uptake simply by upgrading their existing platform for all customers.<\/p>\n

\"eu_july2013_nga_subscriptions\"<\/p>\n

In terms of speed, some 64% of fixed line broadband subscriptions now connect at 10Mbps or more (up from 59% in January 2013) but the vast majority of connections (82%) still deliver sub-30Mbps performance and it’s a similar story in the UK.<\/p>\n

\"eu<\/p>\n

Real-World\u00a0study of Internet speeds<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Speaking of speed, Samknows<\/a> has also gathered together data from its real-world performance testing (uses custom routers in 10,000 EU homes to monitor Internet connections) across Europe and revealed that the average advertised download speed<\/strong> across all countries was 38.50Mbps during peak hours, compared to 30.37Mbps of actual speed<\/strong> (up by an extra 10Mbps+ since March 2012).<\/p>\n

As you’d expect, some broadband technologies are better and more reliable at delivering on the advertised speed than others (e.g. slower copper line ADSL<\/a> services vs cable lines). For example, xDSL services delivered 63.8% of the advertised speed but fibre optic based (FTTx – includes VDSL\/FTTC) lines scored 82.7% and cable managed 89.5%. So how does the United Kingdom do in all this?<\/p>\n

\"eu_july2013_real_broadband_speeds\"<\/p>\n

We strongly suggest reading the full report for all the details\u00a0because the above article\u00a0represents just a tiny\u00a0fraction of what they contain. Broadly there’s a lot of progress but clearly there’s also still a\u00a0long way to go, especially in terms of NGA uptake and ultrafast 100Mbps+ connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
