Of the last year's total subscribers, 93.681million were mobile internet users and 5.742 million broadband Internet users while and the remaining were WiMAX users.

The country has witnessed a boom in internet usage riding on the wave of fast-growing mobile internet market and the government's push for digitisation.

The BTRC has compiled the ISP subscriber information through intense market analysis, consultation and data collection from almost all ISPs.

Due to high number of ISP operators and very low monthly churn of fixed internet subscriptions, ISP and PSTN internet subscriber information is updated on quarterly basis.
