The Connectivity Coverage in Europe 2025 report provides a comprehensive overview of fixed and mobile broadband coverage across the 27 EU Member States (EU27), Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom as of mid-2025.
The study and its report are designed to monitor the progress of EU Member States towards the targets as set out in the Digital Decade Policy programme.
The report analyses the deployment of ten connectivity technologies (DSL, VDSL, VDSL2 Vectoring, cable modem DOCSIS 3.0, DOCSIS 3.1 and higher, FTTP, FWA, 5G, 5G in the 3.4-3.8 GHz band, and satellite) and four aggregated coverage categories, at national, rural and regional (NUTS-3) level.
EU27 fixed connectivity coverage reached 98.0%, Next Generation Access (NGA) coverage reached 95.3%, fixed Very High-Capacity Network (VHCN) coverage reached 85.6%, and Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) coverage reached 74.1%.
Mobile coverage also continued to expand, with 5G signal reaching 96.8% of households, and coverage of 5G in the 3.4-3.8 GHz band reaching 74.8%.
The report identifies growing reliance on Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solutions in low-density and geographically challenging regions, as well as the increasing relevance of low-earth-orbit satellite systems for remote connectivity.
FTTP has become the most widespread single fixed technology in Europe for the first time, while the decline of legacy copper networks reflects active decommissioning programmes.
The pace of copper retirement varies significantly across Europe, with three Member States having already rapidly retired or fully decommissioned their DSL networks during the reporting period.
The study further highlights how countries with strong legacy copper/cable broadband lag behind the EU27 average in FTTP and fixed VHCN coverage owing to delayed fibre upgrades. By contrast, fibre-first markets lead in VHCN rollout, supported by early large-scale fibre investment and active copper switch-off strategies.
The report’s full connectivity dataset and national level, as well as the workbook presenting the Digital Decade connectivity KPIs down to NUTS-2 level, compiled from the study's data, are available to download below.
