Regional differences in fast broadband

The number of broadband subscriptions was 1 368 000 at the end of the second quarter, an increase of 235 000 in the last twelve months. Only two municipalities have less than 20 private broadband subscriptions per 100 households.

Broadband subscriptions by market. 3rd quarter 2002 - 2nd quarter 2007

At the end of the second quarter of 2007, Norway had 1 230 000 private broadband subscriptions, an increase of 21 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2006. In the same period, the number of business broadband subscriptions increased by 19 per cent to 138 000. These figures indicate that the current trend of weaker growth in broadband subscriptions continues.

6 per cent of the private broadband subscriptions have a transmission capacity higher than 8 Mbit/s. In two of nineteen counties, Rogaland and Nord-Trøndelag, the share of high capacity subscriptions is 27 per cent.

The most central municipalities have the highest number of broadband subscriptions relative to the number of households (63 per cent), while this figure is 49 per cent in less central municipalities.

Only two municipalities have less than 20 private broadband subscriptions per 100 households, compared with 17 one year ago. Furthermore, 24 municipalities had between 20 and 35 private broadband subscriptions per 100 households, compared with 131 municipalities last year.

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 with regard to the distribution of subscribers between municipalities have been discovered. 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 Internet access.
