There were 37.2 fixed broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in Europe in 2025, the highest figure among global regions. The Americas recorded the second-highest broadband penetration rate at 27.7 subscriptions, while the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) region had 26.7. Meanwhile, Africa continues to lag far behind, with around one fixed subscription per 100 people. Fixed wireless access (FWA) technology has been highlighted as a potential solution to Africa's lack of fixed infrastructure, allowing the delivery of high-speed internet without the need for fixed networks.
