UK Is Nowhere In Fibre Networks League Table

UK Is Nowhere In Fibre Networks League Table

The latest ranking of countries with the most widespread rollout of fibre-optic cabling to the home shows the UK without enough coverage to even make the league table.
The annual fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) conference in Copenhagen highlighted fears for the UK's global economic competitiveness after the statistics showed the UK still not among the group of economies where FTTH penetration has reached one per cent.



Asian countries lead the FTTH market, with South Korea topping the charts at 44 per cent connectivity. Japan has 13.2 million FTTH connected residences, with the US and China next. The nearest European countries are Scandinavian, with Sweden closely followed by Norway.
