What it is. This measure counts fixed lines that give homes, offices and shops a high-speed internet connection through cable, fibre, DSL or similar technology, then divides the total by the population. Each subscription is a paid line, so one connection shared by a household, a business or an internet café counts once however many people use it. Mobile data plans and satellite services fall outside the count.
Higher is better. A higher figure means more households, firms and public offices have a dependable high-speed connection, which is why higher is better. The latest figure is 0.02 per 100 people for 2022, up from 0.01 per 100 people a year earlier, a rise of 64.8%. Since 2011 the series has ranged between a low of 0.01 per 100 people in 2021 and a high of 0.04 per 100 people in 2015. The 2022 reading sits just above that low and well under the 2015 peak, so the recent gain has recovered only a small part of the earlier level.
Why it matters. At 0.02 per 100 people, a fixed broadband line is a rarity in the Central African Republic. Very few homes or firms can run a stable connection for online work, banking, or remote study. Because the absolute numbers are so small, a handful of new connections can move the percentage change sharply, so the next annual reading after 2022 is the figure to check.
