Table explanation


This table shows the number and types of broadband subscribers in several countries. The table includes a part of the Broadband Statistics of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). The number of broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants is shown and divided into DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), cable, glass fibre and other (among which satellite Internet access).

Note:
Comparable definitions are used to compare the figures presented internationally. The definitions sometimes differ from definitions used by Statistics Netherlands. The figures in this table could differ from Dutch figures presented elsewhere on the website of Statistics Netherlands.

Data available from: June 2001 up to December 2010.

Status of the figures:
The external source of these data frequently supply adjusted figures on preceding periods. These adjusted data are not mentioned as such in the table.

Changes as of 1 March 2018:
This table has been discontinued.

When will new figures be published?
No longer applicable.

Description topics

Broadband subscribers, total
A broadband connection is a high-quality connection to the Internet, such
as cable, DSL or Glass fibre/LAN. LAN is Local Area Network. The fixed
rented and leased lines with a high transmission rate (the sum of upload
and download capacity) are included. UMTS (Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System; a system offering mobile telecommunication
services) is excluded. The OECD uses the following definition of
'broadband connection': connections to the Internet with a total
transmission rate of at least 256 kbit/s (kilobit per second).

South Korea: from June 2004 to December 2004 a break in the time series
occurred.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a data communication technology enabling
a high data transmission capacity via copper wire. Generally, a normal
telephone cable is used for this type of connection.

Cable
Broadband subscribers to the Internet through cable.
Source: OECD.
Glass fibre and LAN
Broadband subscribers to the Internet via glass fibre Internet access or
ethernet LANs. LAN is a Local Area Network, a computer network serving a
small area, such as a house or an office.

Broadband subscribers, other
Broadband subscribers to the Internet, other than DSL (Digital Subscriber
Line) or cable. Includes:
- satellite broadband internet;
- fixed wireless connections like wifi.
UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System; a system offering
mobile telecommunication services) is excluded. As from December 2006,
glass fibre and Local Area Network (LAN) connections are no longer
included in this category, but described separately.
