Europe’s full fibre frontrunners revealed by new Copper Switch-Off Tracker

Brussels, 14th January 2024 - Portugal, Spain and Sweden are ahead of the pack when it comes to phasing out legacy copper networks in Europe, a new study from the FTTH Council Europe has revealed today.

Launched at the FTTH Council Europe’s Policy Dialogue event, the Copper Switch-Off Tracker has been created in cooperation with independent regulatory intelligence provider Cullen International to show the progress 27 EU member states (and the United Kingdom) are making toward adopting full-fibre broadband infrastructure.

While the report praises operators in Portugal, Spain and Sweden who have mostly discontinued their copper networks, the report also reveals that other member states, including Germany, Greece and Czech Republic, still rely heavily on old copper infrastructure.
