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.

On the occasion of the FTTH Conference 2025, the Market Intelligence Committee of the FTTH Council Europe launched the FTTH/B Market Forecasts 2024-2030, showcasing the evolution of FTTH/B coverage and adoption in the EU27+UK and EU39 areas for the next five years.

Compared to last year's report, the new forecasts predict an acceleration in subscriber growth and homes passed in both region (particularly in EU39).

In 2030, the data foresees 158 M of subscribers in EU27+UK and 221 M in EU39 region, with take-up rates experiencing steady growth in both regions. France leads with 32,3M of subscribers followed by United Kingdom with 22,4 M of subscribers.

According to the forecasts, the number of homes passed is expected to reach 225 M homes passed for FTTH/B in 2030 in EU27+UK and 329 M homes passed in the EU39 region. It is expected that the top 3 countries in terms of homes passed will be Germany (39,3 M), France (33,5 M), and United Kingdom (31 M).

The bandwidth limitations of current cable and copper networks are driving telecom players to deploy full-fibre solutions. Additionally, growing traffic demands are prompting operators to upgrade to full fiber to accommodate new peaks. Thanks to recently initiated national programs and Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE) targets for 2025 & 2030, full-fibre connectivity in European countries will reach new heights.

To support the widespread adoption of FTTH networks, the implementation of Copper Switch Off plans will become increasingly necessary, driven by the growing awareness of full-fiber networks as the most sustainable network technology.
