List of sovereign states by number of broadband Internet subscriptions explained

This article contains a sortable list of countries by number of broadband Internet subscriptions and penetration rates, using data compiled by the International Telecommunication Union.

List

The list includes figures for both fixed wired broadband subscriptions and mobile cellular subscriptions:[1]

Penetration rate is the percentage (%) of a country's population that are subscribers. A dash (-) is shown when data for 2012 is not available. Non-country and disputed areas are shown in italics. Taiwan is listed as a sovereign country.
