accelerating.<\/p>\n<p>The number of copper lines globally fell by 11.6% year-on-year, while fibre-to-the-home connections increased by 76.9% between Q3 2015 and Q3 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The share of copper-based technologies (DSL, ADSL, and ADSL2+) in the total subscriber figure continued to fall in all regions except Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The fall was especially notable in the Americas, where FTTH and FTTx, which includes VDSL, gained more ground.<\/p>\n<p>In Q3 2016, the FTTH connections in the region constituted 8.02% of all fixed broadband connections \u2013 compared to 6.9% in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The charts below show the broadband technology market share by region and the annual growth in broadband technology subscriber numbers.<\/p>\n<p><a
