Fremont, California, May 29, 2018: Fiber and cable networks are dominating the global broadband market, with the technologies now servicing 77% of fixed subscriptions, new figures from Point Topic have revealed. 360 iphone 7 phone cases<\/a> According to the Global Broadband Statistics, which take into account subscriptions up to the end of 2017, more than 50% of people in more than 40 countries, including Singapore (97%), China (89%), United States (87%), and the UK (55%), are connected via full-fiber, fiber-fed copper or cable. Speaking exclusively with the Broadband Forum, Point Topic Research Director Dr Jolanta Stanke said: \u201cWe are finding that customers across most global regions increasingly prefer faster broadband services delivered over fiber and cable platforms, as opposed to ADSL. iphone 8 case union jack<\/a> This trend will continue as more bandwidth-hungry young consumers become paying decision makers, even though superfast 4G LTE and 5G mobile broadband services will compete for their wallets.\u201d Fiber-fed subscriptions \u2013 including Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB), Fiber-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC), Very High Bitrate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL), VDSL2 and Gfast \u2013 accounted for 57% of broadband subscriptions, with more than 530 million connections. Stanke agreed VDSL and Gfast were together largely responsible for the growth that fiber has seen, with more than 30 operators across all continents deploying or trialing Gfast. iphone 7 silicone phone cases rose<\/a> \u201cGfast gives operators a more cost-effective variant of fiber that will be used by operators who want to upgrade their existing networks quicker and more easily,\u201d she added. \u201cThis could enable them to serve more customers in less densely populated areas, where direct fiber investment is less economically feasible.\u201d In total, cable, including hybrid fiber-coaxial, accounted for 20% of all fixed broadband connections. transparent case iphone 8<\/a> According to the report, the latest standard of this technology is currently deployed across several markets, being especially popular in North America, and can deliver gigabit download speeds. iphone 7 anti gravity case<\/a> Broadband Forum CEO Robin Mersh said the figures reflect the fact that new technologies that let operators deploy fiber deep into the network without having to enter buildings themselves are quickly moving from trials to mass deployment. \u201cIf operators want to deliver competitive broadband services, maximizing their investments through the use of technologies like Gfast is vital,\u201d said Mersh. man city phone case iphone 7<\/a> \u201cExpanding the footprint of their existing fiber networks in this way is cost-effective and delivers the gigabit speeds consumers crave. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
