Forecast: DSL Fixed Broadband Subscriptions in Italy

The data reflects a consistent decline in DSL fixed broadband subscriptions per hundred persons in Italy, indicating a shift towards alternative broadband technologies. Forecasted subscriptions decrease significantly from 4.84 in 2024, to a mere 0.35 by 2028. This trend suggests a yearly reduction, with a five-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrating an accelerated decline in the preference for DSL. Given projections, the twice-decreasing values across subsequent years underscore a replacement in broadband infrastructure preferences.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Continued transition to fiber optics and 5G networks as they become the preferred technologies due to superior speed and reliability.
• Increasing investment in digital infrastructure by the government and private sector to support high-speed broadband access.
• Potential policy changes encouraging modernization of telecom facilities to accommodate cutting-edge broadband services.
