What it is. This measure counts subscriptions to high-speed internet at a fixed location, such as a home or office, and divides them by the population. It counts paid connections, so one subscription can serve a whole household or a business with many users. Mobile data plans sit outside it, so the figure describes wired and fixed-site access.
Higher is better. More fixed subscriptions mean more households and firms have a steady, fast connection for work, study and online services, so a higher figure is better. The latest figure is 2.5 per 100 people in 2024, down from 2.8 per 100 people a year earlier, a fall of 9.3%. Since 2015 the range runs from a low of 0.53 per 100 people in 2015 to a high of 2.8 per 100 people in 2023. The 2024 figure therefore sits just under the top of that range and far above where it started.
Why it matters. At 2.5 per 100 people, fixed broadband reaches a small share of Eswatini's population. Home working, online study and small firms that need a dependable connection draw on a narrow base of subscribers. The next annual figure will show whether the level moves back towards the 2023 high of 2.8 per 100 people.
