Map Facts

This map shows the percentage of households within each region that had broadband access in 2015. Although 2015 figures show that the share of households with broadband access has increased significantly in all BSR countries, the map shows that large differences in broadband penetration still exist between the countries and also within them.

Overall, the highest penetration rates are in Iceland, Norway, Finland, Germany and Sweden. In many countries, capital regions and large agglomerations enjoy the highest broadband access (>80 percent), opposed to rural and peripheral regions where just 60 percent of households enjoy access to high-speed internet.

Internal differences are smallest in Poland, Iceland and Finland, but with a rather low average for Poland of only 71 percent.
