63 000 more private fixed broadband subscriptions in a year

The number of private broadband subscriptions with fixed access in Norway, including Svalbard, was 1 779 000 at the end of the 4th quarter of 2013; an increase of 63 000 subscriptions in the last 12 months. Compared to the previous quarter, this is an increase of 27 000 subscriptions.

The number of business subscriptions is up to 137 000. This is an increase of 3 000 since the previous quarter and 1 000 in the last year.

New increase in broadband capacity

The average transmission capacity for fixed private broadband has increased from 17.7 to 18.4 Mbit/s since the previous quarter. At the same time, the median value has increased to 10.2 Mbit/s from 9.2 in the previous quarter. One year ago, the average transmission capacity was 15.6 Mbit/s and the median value was 8.6 Mbit/s.

The average transmission capacity for fixed business broadband has increased to 13.3 from 12.0 Mbit/s in the previous quarter. At the same time, the median value increased to 5.5 Mbit/s compared to 4.5 in the previous quarter.

Private broadband subscriptions with a capacity of more than 8 Mbit/s total 55 per cent; an increase from 52 per cent in the previous quarter. Only 39 per cent of business broadband subscriptions have this capacity; an increase from 36 per cent in the previous quarter.

The broadband penetration rate in private households is 79 per cent, which is an increase from last year’s 77 per cent. The figure for private broadband subscriptions per 100 households varies between 88 per cent in the county of Oslo and 66 per cent in the county of Finnmark.

Not all providers are includedOpen and readClose

The number of Internet service providers reporting to this survey has been around 200 over the past few years. Market changes have reduced this number to around 160. A few small, but potentially locally important Internet service providers, mostly cable TV providers, may still not be included in the survey. Efforts have been made to include these providers. Some small errors related to the distribution of subscribers between municipalities may occur. This can have major consequences for the figures per household for some municipalities.
