OECD Broadband is Roughly 1/3 Fiber; 1/2 Cable Modem; 1/3 DSL

Within the OECD, cable modem connections are significant in many markets, which shapes the business case for fiber-to-home deployment. Countries where digital subscriber line is a major platform arguably will have different payback models than countries where significant market share is held by cable operators or fixed wireless.

Fixed broadband penetration has grown over time, generally reaching levels between 45 percent and 25 percent in various OECD countries.
