FTTH Overtakes Cable as World Broadband Users Hit 751 Million

The total number of world broadband subscriptions reached 751.2 million at the end of last year, which is a quarterly Q4 2015 growth of around +1.31% (down from +1.4% in Q3 2015) and there are now more FTTH users worldwide than those using cable (e.g. Virgin Media) technologies.

According to Point Topic, regional market shares held fairly stable in Q4 2015 and East Asia (e.g. Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, China etc.) continued to attract the most quarterly net additions of new subscribers (29.95% in East Asia vs 10.08% in Eastern Europe and 18.75% in the rest of Europe).
