Over 50 per cent broadband in all counties

The number of broadband subscriptions was 1 411 000 at the end of the third quarter, an increase of 216 000 in the last twelve months.

Broadband subscriptions by market. 3rd quarter 2002 - 3rd quarter 2007

At the end of the third quarter of 2007, Norway had 1 270 000 private broadband subscriptions, an increase of 18 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2006. In the same period, the number of business broadband subscriptions increased by 17 per cent to 141 000. These figures indicate that the current trend of weaker growth in broadband subscriptions continues.

For the first time, the broadband penetration rate in private households has exceeded 50 per cent in all nineteen counties. The number of private broadband subscriptions per hundred households varies between 67 per cent in Rogaland and 51 per cent in Finnmark.

The most central municipalities have the highest number of broadband subscriptions relative to the number of households (65 per cent), while this figure is 52 per cent in less central municipalities.

Only one municipality has fewer than 20 private broadband subscriptions per 100 households and 15 municipalities have between 20 and 35 private broadband subscriptions per 100 households.

A few small, but locally important Internet service providers, mostly cable-TV providers, are still not 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 may have strong effects on the figures per household for some municipalities.

Individuals and businesses may have several Internet subscriptions and several individuals may use the same subscription. The number of subscriptions is therefore not equivalent to the number of households/businesses with Internet access. A household can for instance get Internet access through an employer, educational institutions or by sharing access with other households. The survey ICT in households contains more information about households with at least one member under the age of 75 with Internet access.
