Latin America and the Caribbean: Among the Regions with the Lowest Fixed Broadband Penetration Worldwide

By 2023, penetration reached 18% of the population


Last updated: 03/07/2025


Over the past 15 years, fixed broadband penetration in Latin America and the Caribbean increased from 3.5% of the population in 2007 to 18% in 2023. During the same period, countries of the European Union advanced from 19.7% to 39%. Although the region recorded a relative growth of 390%, this expansion has not been sufficient to close the gap with Europe, which continues to maintain significantly higher levels of fixed broadband access.
