5.5M Lines Shift to Fiber
The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority announced that more than 5.5 million fixed internet lines have been switched to fiber optics, which can deliver speeds of up to 100 and 200 Mbps, compared with around 30 Mbps over copper cables. The plan aims to upgrade a further 6 million lines over the next three years—2 million annually—so that fiber covers more than 90% of fixed lines. The number of mobile towers has also risen from around 24,000 in 2021 to nearly 38,000 today, with a target of 40,000 by year-end. This follows an approximately 100% surge in internet consumption within a month or two of the COVID-19 pandemic.
