According to the latest report from the National Markets and Competition Commission, fiber optics reached more than 12 million lines in Spain at the end of last June.

In fact, 34 of the 50 countries with the fastest connectivity are in Europe. In contrast, North Africa (5.68 Mbps), Latin America and South Asia are the regions where the speed is slower. However, the gap between one and the other has narrowed for the first time since 2017.
