The map shows the distribution of broadband access across northern Europe at the most detailed, comparable regional level available. The broadband access rate within the Nordic region is very high, although with some variations. A large majority of the Nordic regions have broadband access rates above the EU28 average. While high rates are found in the capital regions, it is interesting to note that several often rather disparate regions, located outside the capital regions, actually have the highest broadband access rates. Among them are Svalbard, the Faroe Islands, Jämtland, Västmanland and Östergötland in Sweden, and More og Romsdal in Norway.
