What it is. Fixed broadband subscriptions per 100 people counts connections to the internet over cable, fibre, DSL and similar fixed lines, divided by the population. It counts subscriptions rather than users, so one household line shared by a whole family counts once. Mobile data plans are excluded, which matters in an island country where many people go online by phone.
Higher is better. More fixed lines per head means more homes and businesses can get a stable, fast connection for work, study and public services, so a higher figure is better. The latest reading, 8.3 per 100 people in 2024, is up from 7.2 per 100 people a year earlier, a rise of 14.9%. It is the highest figure since 2015. The lowest in that span was 2.9 per 100 people in 2017.
Why it matters. At 8.3 per 100 people, fixed broadband in Cabo Verde reaches only a small share of the population, so most households still depend on mobile connections for the internet. Growth in subscriptions helps firms that need reliable links, such as tourism businesses and remote-work services, and gives the state a wider base for online public services.
