(Boursier.com) – ARCEP published the results of its market observatory fixed services to high and very high speed for Q1 2016. the monitoring of subscriptions and deployments of high telecoms authority shows that at the end of March 2016, already 4.5 million internet subscriptions with broadband it materializing growth of + 35% over 1 year. Of these 1.6 million subscriptions are via optical fiber from end to end (FTTH), a growth of + 53% in one year. In terms of deployments, 14.8 million units (+ 9% in one year) were eligible for very high speed at end March 2016, 6 million via an offer fiber optic network from end to end (+ 37% in one year).
Boost very broadband subscriptions
during the 1st quarter 2016, the number of subscriptions at very high speed (maximum download speed greater than or equal to 30 Mbit / s) increased by 265,000 to 4.5 million. 1 year, 1.2 million new subscriptions were recorded. This development is driven by the rise in subscriptions fiber optics throughout. It increases by 160,000 units compared to Q4 2015. The number of subscriptions with a throughput between 30 and 100 Mbit / s increased by 130,000 in the quarter to 1.7 million (+ 29% in one year ). These subscriptions include access VDSL2 actually enjoying a rate greater than or equal to 30 Mbit / s and those with terminated coaxial cable.
Settlement of DSL subscriptions in favor of very high speed
the number of broadband subscriptions, the maximum download speed is less than 30 Mbit / s, totaled 22.6 million at quarter end. It fell by 55,000 compared to the fourth quarter 2015; 255,000 in one year. This decrease results from the decrease in the number of DSL broadband subscriptions. It represents 83% of the total number of subscriptions to broadband and high speed.
In all, the number of subscriptions and very high fixed broadband reached 27.1 million at the end of Q1 2016, growing from 210,000 in one quarter and 900,000 in 1 year (+ 3.4%).
increased investments of the operators
This growth was also driven by increased deployments and investments by operators. End of March 2016, 14.8 million units (+ 9% in one year) were eligible for very high-speed, 6 million via an offer fiber optic network from end to end (FttH) (+ 37% in 1 year ). Operators have made significant investments, to offer diverse offerings on a growing part of the territory. So at the end of Q1 2016, the alternative operators dégroupaient 9976 NRA local loop copper, serving 92.2% of the existing lines.
Network modernization
Meanwhile, upgrading networks terminated coaxial cable continued. So at the end of Q1 2016, approximately 8.9 million homes are eligible for very high speed networks deals terminated coaxial cable (HFC FTTLA and) the flow rate is greater than or equal to 30 Mbit / s. Among these units, 7.3 million have a higher rate or equal to 100 Mbit / s (+ 18% in one year). Within the total cable park, already 3.8 million eligible housing are outside very dense areas.
6 million of eligible housing in fiber
The operators also accelerate their deployment of FTTH networks. At March 31, 2016, 6 million homes were eligible for FTTH offers, with a first quarter 2016 marked by a sustained pace of deployment of FttH networks. Thus, 370,000 additional homes are eligible, an increase of 7% in one quarter after a record the previous quarter (583,000 additional housing units; + 12%)
Better service outside dense areas
Among the 6 million eligible housing in the fiber, 2.4 million are outside very dense areas and 850,000 are eligible through public initiative networks. In addition, ARCEP accounts for more than 5.4 million eligible lines to high speed (greater than or equal rate to 30 Mbit / s) in VDSL2, a gain of about 105,000 lines in the quarter. End of March 2016, approximately 12,350 NRA are equipped with VDSL2 by at least one operator, representing a coverage rate of approximately 95.5% of the territory lines.
In total, at the end of 1st quarter of 2016, 14.8 million units were thus eligible for services at very high speed, with 9.3 million (63%) outside very dense areas.
