ADSL Broadband remains at the top

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 21 December 2009

The recent statistics released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) pertaining to broadband usage in OECD countries in June this year, gives a clear indication that ADSL Broadband remains the most popular broadband technology or means to connect to the Internet in the OECD.

Most popular broadband technology… 

 

ADSL Broadband or DSL is according to the OECD statistics used by 60% of all the broadband subscribers in the OECD to connect to the Internet. 

 

The above is great news, especially if one considers the benefits that ADSL Broadband offers

 

Less popular in South Africa… 

 

ADSL Broadband, which presents fixed-line or wired Internet connections, has however declined in popularity in South Africa to 29% while Wireless Broadband connections have shot up to 71% of all broadband connections in South Africa. This is mainly due to the high cost of ADSL Broadband in South Africa as well as other issues such as cable theft, poor customer service, etc.
