The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development<\/span><\/a>, which covers 34 countries that support democracy and a market economy, has reported that at the end of 2013 the United Kingdom ranked 8th for fixed line broadband penetration (i.e. 35.2 subscribers per 100 inhabitants). Fibre optic (FTTH<\/a>\/P\/B) connections also continued to grow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The fixed broadband penetration figure represents an annual growth of 3.1%, which is to be expected in a market where Internet connectivity has already reached maturity. By comparison Germany saw annual penetration rise by 2%, Italy 0.9%, France 4% and Spain 4.6%.<\/p>\n

As usual the slower copper-based DSL<\/a> (ADSL<\/a>, SDSL etc.) broadband connections continue to dominate the market, although the UK’s DSL<\/a> penetration figure of 24.7 per 100 inhabitants\u00a0represents a reduction from 25.5 recorded six months earlier and most of that has gone to growth via Fibre\/LAN services.<\/p>\n

Interestingly the report also claims that 10.39% of the United Kingdom’s total broadband\u00a0connections are “fibre<\/em>“. The OECD defines “fibre<\/em>” as both all Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>\/H) subscriptions at download speeds of greater than 256Kbps and all Fibre-to-the-Building<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) lines (the latter counts only the number of actual subscriptions to the provider, not end users).<\/p>\n

As a result of that definition it’s interesting to note that the United Kingdom has the 3rd highest level of fibre growth in the whole OECD, with the annual increase equating to 116.36%. In fairness that’s probably to be expected given the low starting point and doesn’t strictly translate into a lot of actual subscribers, although the 10.39% figure above suggests differently.<\/p>\n

We know from practical reports produced by the FTTH<\/a> Council and Point Topic<\/a> that in 2013 there were still around 200,000 UK premises within reach of a true fibre optic (FTTP<\/a>\/H\/B) connection and even if 100% of those were converted to subscribers it would still only equate to 0.88% of the 22,559,353<\/strong> total for actual broadband subscriptions. As a result we suspect that the OECD have counted FTTC<\/a> as pure fibre optic, perhaps due to a misinterpretation of Ofcom<\/a>’s data, since 10.39% makes more sense when you include hybrid-fibre (FTTC<\/a>) solutions.<\/p>\n
