The objective of this committee is to help Communication Service Providers avoid churn & create revenue opportunities through the provision of enhanced user experience.

While more and more households have access to full-fibre network, it becomes crucial to avoid home connectivity becoming a bottle neck and that the new gigabit services can efficiently reach end user devices without degradation of speed or performance.

The In-Home Broadband Excellence committee addresses the following questions:

  • how to provide, manage and monitor ‘Quality of Experience’ for the end-user
  • how to monetise value-added services and reduce costs
  • how to leverage standards and provide pointers to industry fora

You can expect multiple initiatives from this dynamic group, such as the In-Home Broadband Excellence Guide, available for every member of the FTTH Council Europe and sold to non-members at a price of €36 inc. VAT* una tantum, intended to help Communication Service Providers understand the topic of ‘In-home Broadband Excellence’ and optimize their business strategies to reap the benefits of fibre-based connectivity delivered to end-users' premises.

The In-Home Broadband Excellence committee is also very much engaged in the organisation of workshops at the annual FTTH Conference, as well webinars and other communications.

 

*This price includes 21% VAT applicable in Belgium. If you are purchasing on behalf of a company based outside of Belgium you will not be required to pay VAT. For all UK and EC Member state registered companies please have your VAT number to include when purchasing

 

 

2024 FTTH Market Panorama - Report by Country

Across Europe, we are seeing consistent growth of FTTH deployment.

According to the latest Market Panorama report, the total number of homes passed with FTTH/B in the EU391 area reached 244 million homes in September 2023, compared to 221 million in September 2022.

FTTH/B coverage rate in EU39 countries now amounts to 69.9% (up by 6.5pp vs 2022).

However, the proportion of homes effectively connected is much lower, with the FTTH penetration rate reaching 34.7% in EU39. Take up rate is progressing - slowly - at 49.6% (+ 0.5pp y-o-y) and adoption is now  the key challenge in many markets2.

While the general trend is positive, we are observing significant differences between markets. In our view, a presentation of our data by country would be useful, offering a clearer focus on the highly diverse dynamics and trends for each individual country.

This document is our first publication using this new approach and format. We hope you find it useful and welcome your comments and suggestions – don’t hesitate to get in touch!

It complements our standard market reports3 which you can find on our website, alongside many other assets covering every aspect of the FTTH industry.

Note: in 2022, the FTTH Council have removed Russia and Belarus from individual mention in the report due to their actions and support of the invasion of Ukraine.
