Fiberalliancen is a trade association representing companies that own, operate, and use fibre networks in Denmark. It is part of Green Power Denmark.
For the fifth time, following previous reports in 2021, 2022,2023, and 2024, Tefficient has conducted an extensive fibre broadband pricing benchmark across nine European markets: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, and France.
“While prices are low, access to fiber networks in Denmark is among the highest in Europe.”
In a press release, Fiberalliancen introduces Tefficient’s latest analysis and makes it publicly available for download in the right hand column under “Links”. If you do not read Danish, don’t worry; the report is in English.
31% failed – often operating from a low-usage position
In Tefficient’s 45th public analysis of mobile data trends, 116 operators are ranked based on metrics such as average data usage per subscription, total data traffic, and revenue per gigabyte.
Converting data usage growth to ARPU growth – not that simple
Tefficient’s 44th public analysis of mobile data trends and drivers compares data from 40 countries, where M2M/IoT can be excluded from the total bases. Mobile data usage grew year-on-year in every country, with Saudi Arabia maintaining its position as the usage leader and Latvia emerging as the new runner-up.
Growth decelerated again – also in GB terms
However, growth rates have decelerated. Greece recorded the highest annual increase at 38%, while Croatia posted the lowest at just 2%. Even in absolute terms [incremental GB per subscription], most countries experienced slower growth in 2024 than in 2023. Overall, the demand for additional mobile data is weaker than ever – although FWA is included in most figures.
The Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission, EETT, functions as Greece’s national regulatory authority for telecommunications.
In response to EETT’s request, Tefficient has conducted an extensive benchmark analysis, focusing on value for money for fixed broadband and telephony services, spanning twelve EU countries: Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, and Spain.
While the primary focus of the benchmark is on Greece, its insights provide valuable perspectives for the telecommunications industry in the remaining eleven countries.
Tefficient’s 43rd public analysis of mobile data trends and drivers compares data from 39 countries, where M2M/IoT can be excluded from the total bases. Mobile data usage grew in every country year-on-year, with Saudi Arabia remaining the usage leader.
Growth rates decelerated
However, growth rates have decelerated – Greece saw the highest increase at 55%, while Croatia and Finland posted just 5%.
Norway’s Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Governance today published two analyses commissioned from Tefficient.
The conclusion is summarised (in Norwegian) in a press release from the Ministry.
Both analyses are very comprehensive and compare Norway to the three fellow Nordic countries Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. It means that they are highly interesting not just for the industry and policy makers in Norway, but in all four countries.
An example graph from the fixed analysis shows how the average monthly subscription fee compares between different plans with different maximum download throughput:
The average monthly subscription fee during the first 5 years of a fixed broadband contract, measured in purchasing power parity adjusted Norwegian kroner. Each dot represents an actual consumer offer. In total 6500 offers across 385 addresses were documented.
In Tefficient’s 42nd public analysis of mobile data trends, 123 operators are ranked based on metrics like average data usage per subscription, total data traffic, and revenue per gigabyte.
In 2023, 93% of operators experienced growth in data usage per subscription, with 71% of them successfully converting this into higher ARPU.

For the fourth time, following previous reports in 2021, 2022, and 2023, Tefficient has conducted an extensive fibre broadband pricing benchmark across nine European markets: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, and France.
“Germany and the Netherlands have also experienced falling fiber prices, but Denmark has seen the biggest overall price drop over the four years.”

Tefficient’s 41st public analysis of mobile data development and drivers compares 39 countries worldwide, where M2M/IoT can be excluded from the total bases. Mobile data usage grew in 38 of these, with Bahrain as the only exception.
Finland no longer leads in usage
For the first time since 2013, Finland doesn’t lead in usage. Saudi Arabia is the new world leader with more than 45 GB per average subscription in 2023.
The Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission, EETT, functions as Greece’s national regulatory authority for telecommunications.
In response to EETT’s request, Tefficient has conducted an extensive benchmark analysis, focusing on value for money, spanning twelve EU and Euro countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain.
While the primary focus of the benchmark is on Greece, its insights provide valuable perspectives for the telecommunications industry in the remaining eleven countries.
Key conclusions for Greece include:
Mobile Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is approximately on par but with a notable increase
Mobile data usage is low but exhibits the most significant growth
Voice usage is the highest among the peer group but continues to see robust growth
The total mobile revenue per gigabyte of mobile data is high but demonstrates a marked decrease
Voice revenue per mobile voice minute aligns with the median and experiences median erosion
In terms of value for money, Greece ranks weaker in data offerings compared to most of its peers but stronger than most in voice services
