What it is. This measure counts fixed broadband subscriptions, meaning paid internet connections delivered to a home or workplace over a fixed line or link, and divides them by the population. Each subscription counts once however many people share it, so a single household line serving a whole family adds one to the tally. Mobile data plans sit in a separate measure.
Higher is better. Higher is better because more fixed subscriptions mean more households, schools and businesses have a steady connection for work, study and online services. The latest figure, for 2022, is 2.1 per 100 people, down from 2.2 a year earlier, a fall of 0.11, or 4.7%. Since 2013 the series has ranged from a low of 0.08 per 100 people in 2014 to a high of 2.8 per 100 people in 2020. The 2022 figure therefore sits in the upper part of that range, though below the 2020 peak.
Why it matters. At 2.1 per 100 people, fixed broadband reaches only a small share of Cameroon's population. Households and firms that want a dependable home or office connection draw from a limited pool of subscriptions. The next annual reading will show whether the series recovers towards the 2020 level of 2.8 per 100 people.
