FTTH lines in Spain grew by 102,921 in February 2024, reaching a total of 15.6 million, according to the latest report from CNMC.
Some 5.4 million lines, 34.6 per cent of the total, belong to Movistar with 310,000 new lines added on a year-on-year basis. Movistar, Orange and MásMóvil together control 72.6 per cent of the lines.
