What is the Global Broadband Statistics database?

The Global Broadband Statistics Database (GBS) is an online reference and research tool containing subscriber data for more 450 operators and ISPs in 110 countries around the world.  More data in one place than any other service.

It has been built to help you get the broadband and IPTV subscriber information you need as easily as possible at regional, country and operator level.

How does it work?

Our team of researchers around the world gather information from a range of sources including company reports, press releases, regulatory and governmental papers and other secondary as well as primary research with a network of contacts established over time.  The data is fed into our database and then subjected to a rigerous verification and normalisation process before publication.  Splits by technology, time, channel, re-sale and other broadband specific variables allow you to access the most up to date, accurate and complete subscriber dataset available anywhere.
