Penetration rates for fixed broadband in rural and urban areas in 2014

When considering broadband take-up progress by country, it is clear that wide
disparities remain in the EU mainly along a North-South divide: the Netherlands,
Luxembourg, Finland, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany registered the highest
broadband penetration figures in 2014, while Bulgaria, Romania, Portugal and Greece
have the lowest take-up rates in both rural and urban areas (see Figure 1).
