en.Wedoany.com Reported - As of the end of May, the total number of fixed broadband users in China had approached 700 million, with over 25 million new users added. Broadband of 100 Mbps and above now covers the vast majority of households, accounting for 95.4% of all broadband users.

The number of gigabit broadband users has exceeded 255 million, an increase of more than 16 million since the end of last year, accounting for 36% of all broadband users. This means that out of every 100 broadband users, 36 are using gigabit networks, and this proportion continues to rise.

From a regional perspective, there are significant differences in the adoption of gigabit broadband. As of the end of May, the penetration rates of fixed broadband access users with speeds of 1000 Mbps and above in the eastern, central, western, and northeastern regions were 35.9%, 37%, 38.1%, and 31.3%, respectively.

The hardware infrastructure supporting gigabit broadband adoption is also continuously improving. The total number of broadband access ports nationwide exceeds 1.2 billion, with fiber optic ports accounting for nearly 96.7%, indicating that almost all broadband lines have been upgraded to fiber optics.

In contrast to the sustained boom in broadband services, the usage of traditional voice calls and text messages continues to decline, as more users rely on high-speed networks for online communication. The number of internet TV (IPTV, OTT) users has exceeded 400 million, and the number of connected smart home devices has approached 3 billion. High-speed broadband is becoming the fundamental network support for the normal operation of various smart devices.
