Home Broadband Growth Slows

As important as home broadband might be for revenue earned by most fixed network service providers, it is not a product with a high growth rate. In fact, growth rates are slowing, according to Point Topic. Where growth rates were in the two-percent range in 2021, they have dropped to about 1.3 percent in 2022.

The causes are several. The war in Ukraine has depressed growth in the Eastern Europe region. Saturation is an issue in Western Europe and North America. Economic issues might be tempering net additions in other markets. 


In the mobile markets, growth can be measured in several ways: total accounts or subscribers; growth of 4G or 5G; growth of mobile broadband accounts. 4G and 5G growth rates are higher than global mobile account growth rates, which might run about three percent per year.
