Number of fixed broadband users in Bangladesh growing
The number of fixed broadband users in Bangladesh is growing even though the growth is much less than that of mobile internet subscribers.
In a month, the number of such subscribers has increased by 47 percent.
According to a report of BTRC, the number of subscribers of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs) crossed 1.9 million in September.
In August, their subscribers were 1.3 million, which means within a month users number increased by 600,000.
During the same period in 2014, the number was 1.232 million and in 2013, it was 1.223 million.
“Number of fixed broadband users will be even higher than the BTRC figure. If ISPs give actual figures, then this number will be around 2.5 to 3 million,” President of Internet Service Providers Association of Bangladesh MA Hakim told bdnews24.com.
He said use of fixed broadband was increasing at homes.
