growth in many similar companies, the company’s fibre optic
cable technologies which allows for the transmission of both voice

revolutionized fixed line telephony in Sri Lanka.

cumulative migration to the new system by its existing

broadband services given its first mover advantage and in 2012, it
accounted for approx. 78% of total fixed broadband subscribers in
Sri Lanka.
•Increasing connectivity and rising household incomes have
driven the growth in broadband services in the island which has
grown exponentially to a record 10-year CAGR growth of 21%.
• Fixed line broadband penetration rate for Sri Lanka stands at 1.7
per 100 subscribers compared with 5 per 100 subscribers for
developing countries. This implies that the exponential growth
witnessed amongst broadband subscribers in the past is likely to
persist in the short-medium term given the space for growth
within Sri Lanka.

mobile operator’s share of the national subscriber base to continue
growing.
