There are now more than 2 million fibre broadband connections in Europe that go direct to the home (Fibre-To-The-Home) according to research by the FTTH Council Europe.

The number of those with FTTH has increased by 18% since 2008 across Europe which shows that the broadband market has continued to grow and develop, however some of the bigger European countries such as the UK, France & Germany didn’t make it onto the top 10 list of countries in Europe with FTTH (based on percentage of customers who have fibre broadband).

The list was dominated mainly with smaller European countries with Sweden topping the list with 10.9% of the country being connected with fibre broadband. Norway and Slovenia were the next 2 countries on the list.

  1. Sweden - 10.9%
  2. Norway - 10.2%
  3. Slovenia - 8.9%
  4. Andorra - 6.6%
  5. Denmark - 5.7%
  6. Iceland - 5.6%
  7. Lithuania - 3.3%
  8. Netherlands - 2.5%
  9. Slovakia - 2.5%
  10. Finland - 2.4%


The FTTH Council expects that by 2012 there will be around 13 million people who will have fibre broadband across 35 European countries.
