The Agcom Communications Observatory for the year 2021 has just been available, which provides interesting statistics regarding the use of the network (but not only) in Italy: usage is growing fiber optic connections and generally improves the speed of the network.
In particular, 75% of the total fixed lines have speeds of at least 30Mbit / s , while the lines that manage to reach 100Mbit / s have passed from 16.5% to 59.4% . The FTTC (Fiber To The Cabinet) lines increased by over one million compared to last year, while the FTTH (Fiber To The Home ) increased by approximately 800 thousand units . The Fixed Wireless Access (Fwa), lines also grew, which saw a increase of 239 thousand units.
Average daily data traffic is growing: in particular, in the first 9 months of the year it increased by 21% compared to last year. Surely this increase is given above all to the great diffusion of streaming services, which due to the pandemic have grown a lot.
As regards the mobile networks , the average monthly data consumption since the beginning of the year can be estimated at approximately 12.3 GB / month, up by 29.3% compared to the period June-September 2020. For more information, please refer to the complete report accessible from here.
