[isp review] The FTTH Council Europe, which seeks to foster a sustainable future enabled by superfast 100Mbps+ Fibre to the Home (FTTH) fibre optic broadband connections, has revealed that related internet connections within Europe have increased by 22% over the past six months.
In absolute numbers, Europe has reached 3.2 million FTTH/B subscribers (nearly 4.5 million including Russia). And network deployment continues to bring fibre within reach of more homes: Europe now counts 18 million FTTH/B homes passed (more than 26 million including Russia), a growth of more than 6% during the first half of 2010.
As usual the UK is nowhere to be found in all of this, although that should begin to change once the commercial deployment of BT's new 110Mbps FTTP/FTTH service gets underway next year. It's worth noting that the FTTH Council is rather limited in its scope and doesn't consider other methods that deliver broadband at similar speeds, such as wireless solutions or Virgin Media UK's 100Mbps package.
