What it is. This measure counts fixed broadband subscriptions, meaning internet connections delivered to a home or business through a fixed line such as copper, cable or fibre, and divides them by the population in hundreds. It counts subscriptions, so one household line that several people share adds only one to the total. Mobile data plans are left out, as are public Wi-Fi and workplace connections without their own subscription.
Higher is better. More fixed subscriptions per person mean more homes and firms can get a stable, fast connection, so a higher figure is better. Egypt stood at 11.7 per 100 people in 2024, up from 10.9 per 100 people a year earlier. That is a rise of 0.82 per 100 people, or 7.6%. Since 2015 the lowest figure was 3.8 per 100 people, recorded in 2015, and the latest reading is the highest in that span.
Why it matters. At 11.7 per 100 people, fixed broadband reaches a growing share of Egyptian households, and each subscription usually serves a whole family. Reliable home connections matter for remote work, online study and small businesses that sell or serve customers over the internet. The rise since 2015 gives the state and operators a larger base for digital services, while the current level still leaves many households relying on mobile connections.
