The collected data reflects the situation at the end of June 2022 compared to the situation at the
end of June 2021.

This report covers 31 countries across Europe – the EU27, plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, and
the UK and analyses the availability of eleven broadband access technologies (DSL, VDSL, VDSL2
Vectoring, cable modem DOCSIS 3.0, cable modem DOCSIS 3.1, FTTP, FWA, LTE, 5G, 5G
coverage on the 3.4–3.8 GHz spectrum band, and satellite) across each market, at national and
rural levels.

In addition, three combination categories indicating the availability of one or more forms
of broadband coverage are also included in the study. These cover overall fixed broadband
availability, next generation access (NGA) availability and overall FTTP & DOCSIS 3.1 availability.

The individual broadband coverage developments in study countries are discussed in the country chapters.
