Countries by Broadband Access (%)

What Fixed Broadband Per 100 Measures

Fixed Broadband Per 100 is a comparative indicator tracked across countries by the World Bank. It provides a quantitative basis for cross-national comparison, enabling researchers and policymakers to benchmark national performance on this dimension against global peers.

Why This Ranking Matters

Examining Fixed Broadband Per 100 across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.

Global Range

Values range from 0 (Chad) to 202 (Afghanistan) — an infinitely large difference across 216 countries.

Regional Patterns

African countries dominate this ranking, holding 17 of the top 20 positions. This strong regional concentration suggests shared economic, geographic, or policy factors that drive higher values across the continent.

Values are broadly distributed across countries, with the middle 50% ranging from 8.00 to 41. The overall spread from 0 to 202 reflects significant global variation.

Notable Outliers

The top of the ranking is competitive: Afghanistan and Angola are separated by only 0%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data. The bottom five countries are all from Africa, pointing to regional challenges that affect fixed broadband per 100 across the continent.
