Despite an especially challenging economic environment, and an increasingly maturing market, the Western European region added an impressive 13.4 million new broadband subscribers in 2008. Household broadband penetration stood at 61% at the end of 2008, and will exceed 80% by 2013.

DSL remains the dominant access technology in Western Europe, accounting for over 80% of all consumer connections. However, given the ambitious fiber rollouts in the region, Strategy Analytics estimates that the FTTx share of connections will grow to over 9% by 2013. Revenues for the region will grow from $65 billion in 2008 to $77 billion in 2013, fueled in part by the rising uptake of higher-ARPU Fiber offerings.
