How this measure is built
- Definition
- Total number of active fixed broadband subscriptions of all technologies in the region at the end of the period.
- Measure
- One slice of Fixed broadband subscriptions ( form: count ) . Total number of active fixed broadband internet subscriptions. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
