It can be expected therefore that developing countries, and especially LDCs, will slowly catch up with the rest of the world. Fixed-broadband subscriptions are continuously increasing, without a slowdown in growth rates. Furthermore, almost all fixed-broadband subscriptions had download speeds of at least 2 Mbit/s, with a very substantial part having advertised speeds of more than 10 Mbit/s. In LDCs, there is still a significant pocket of subscriptions for the lowest speed tier (>256 kbit/s to <2 Mbit/s), although that proportion is decreasing rapidly.
