Here are the counties in Sweden where you can surf really fast – and where you are surfing the … – IDG.se



mobile surfing


Government’s aim is that nine out of ten households and businesses should have access to fast broadband, 100 Mbit / second. And it continues at this rate, operators peace project in the port. In October 2015, two thirds had that opportunity, an increase of six percentage points, according to a report from the Swedish National Post and Telecom Agency, PTS.

Above all, it is the expansion of the fiber network that allows the share of high-speed access increases.

– What we see is interesting is that the growth will continue and even increase a little. Last year it was five percentage points, this year is the six, said Jens Ingman, market analyst at the Swedish National Post and Telecom Agency.

the Agency has identified both the broadband network and mobile coverage in two different reports, which are handed over to the government of the day. 61 percent of households now have access to the fiber network. Another ten percent could join shortly, then they basically have the fiber around the corner. Something that also means that more will have 100-broadband next year.

– The survey is just a picture of the current situation but that many can connect and that the rate of increase continues, is positive. But we have not made any forecasts, says Jens Ingman.

Fiber is leading connectivity technology for the major metropolitan areas in the country. But the growth is fastest off seals and small towns. The percentage of households where the fiber is 21 percent, an increase of eight percentage points. Which is explained by the government broadband support directed precisely against those areas.

There, the proportion of connecting households has increased most is Gotland October last year stood at 74 percent. An increase of 22 percentage points from the year before. The lowest are Västerbotten County, where the proportion of households connected to the fiber network and even decreased by 0.39 percentage points. But where on the other hand the proportion of households having access to broadband, regardless of the technology behind, about 100 Mbits / second highest in the country at 77.65 percent.

Residents of Dalarna and Kalmar are those of grade has high-speed access in their homes. However seeing the PTS that it goes in the right direction.

– A lot has happened to the positive side and the expansion continues, says Jens Ingman.

When it comes to connectivity on mobile phones, the Agency has looked on network geographic distribution and prevalence of mobile base stations, as well as their capacity. And as measured include area coverage, ie the percentage of Sweden covered by 3G and 4G.

77 percent of the country reached the net that allows a speed of 10 Mbit / sec. Which is an increase of 26 percentage points from last year. While this is why lending and remodeling. 5900 new technology start-ups during the year.

– It is above all to have been built in the northern counties, Västernorrland, Jämtland, Västerbotten and Norrbotten. The increase in area coverage is more than 35 percent there. But it does not mean that a new base station has been built, it can also be the operator rebuilt, from 3g to 4g, says Erik Ferngren, the unit for radio control.

Nor does the coverage that the connection works all the way into the living room. The level of authority measures the outdoor environment when the user holds the phone in your hand to your ear. Probably indoor coverage is the same in PTS, but there are no guarantees it. Where is the report on broadband a better measure to see if households can surf or not.

The report also shows that more users have access to higher speeds up to 30 Mbit / second. Yttäckningssiffran is low, 2.6 percent. But on the surface live 71 percent of the population.

The reports are produced on behalf of the government. The purpose of the broadband target is that all households and businesses should have good opportunities to use e-services and other services via broadband. Today it is just a hundred who can not connect to the network at all. Later in our PTS report a follow-up of the government’s broadband investigation.
