Digital Decade 2024: Broadband Coverage in Europe 2023

This report covers thirty-one countries across Europe – the EU27, plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and the UK, and analyses the availability of ten broadband technologies (DSL, VDSL, VDSL2 Vectoring, cable modem DOCSIS 3.0, DOCSIS 3.1, FTTP, FWA, 5G, 5G in the 3.4–3.8 GHz band, and satellite) across each market, at national and rural levels. In addition, four combination categories indicating the availability of one or more forms of broadband connection are included in the study. These cover overall fixed broadband availability, next-generation access (NGA) availability, overall fixed Very High Capacity Network (VHCN) availability (comprised of the combined FTTP & DOCSIS 3.1 availability), and BEREC-defined Very High Capacity Network (VHCN) availability, which includes both fixed and mobile networks. Europe-wide overview, country comparisons and year-on-year trends are provided in this report. Additionally, broadband coverage developments in study countries are discussed in individual country chapters.
