Detailed insight on current
and historic broadband coverage in Europe
The European Broadband Markets product is aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of the footprint of residential broadband coverage across Europe, distributed by both technology and bandwidth, for our clients.
Our data covers 2011 to 2021, with yearly updates to reflect changes in broadband coverage, technology footprints and the progression of new technologies in the broadband sector.
Acting as a firm foundation for decision-making, our datasets rely on the cross-boundary NUTS (Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics) classification developed by the European Commission as well as our European Kilometre Grid (EKG) to address the need for reliable, standardised data freed from national and version-specific differences in the measurement, formatting, and representation of data.
Countries we cover
The European Broadband Markets includes datasets for Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. Data for Switzerland and Croatia is avaliable from 2012, while data for all other countries is available from 2011.
