It&#8217;s also the first quarter where the market share for older copper line broadband connections (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a>, SDSL) has dipped below 50%.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As usual coppers loss is fibres gain, with both superfast <strong>hybrid-fibre<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>\/N\/x) and ultrafast true <strong>fibre optic<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>\/P\/B) broadband connections seeming to pick-up the slack as customers migrate to faster connectivity. On the other hand it should be said that many hybrid-fibre solutions, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>, are actually dependent upon a &#8220;<em>last mile<\/em>&#8221; style run of existing copper cable via VDSL connectivity and so the picture is a little more complex.<\/p>\n<p>Never the less, at the current rate of fibre growth and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> decline, it looks like hybrid-fibre alone could overtake older style copper connections in around 5 years\u2019 time. This would be a crucial tipping point that could start some operators down the road to phasing out older <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> services completely.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2014-internet-statistics\/broadband_subscribers_by_technology_q1_2014.gif\" alt=\"broadband subscribers by technology q1 2014\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Elsewhere the latest report also mentions the growth in Internet TV (IPTV) style services (i.e. those purchased from fixed broadband ISPs).
