There were 1.56 billion fixed broadband subscriptions in the world as of the end of the third quarter of last year, with growth driven by increased fibre uptake, particularly in some key markets.
But while fibre dominates, some new technologies are posting more impressive growth rates to inch up their share, the new figures from Point Topic demonstrate.
Global fixed broadband subscriptions increased by 1.46% in Q3, which is a respectable growth rate, taking into account the sizeable existing base. In fact, it's the market's second best over the past eight quarters, with only Q3 last year coming marginally higher. Net adds were 22.4 million.
