Number of Fixed Internet Subscribers Reaches 1.16 million in 2024
According to the 2024 Activity Report of the Communications Commission, the number of fixed internet users in Georgia increased by 43,700 compared to the previous year and reached 1.16 million. The number of residential subscribers increased by 3.9%, while the number of business subscribers increased by 4.2%.
Over the past five years, the average annual growth in the number of subscribers was 4.5% for residential subscribers and 5.9% for business subscribers.
The number of residential subscribers in 2024 was 1.1 million, which is 41,400 more than in the previous year. Consequently, the penetration rate of fixed broadband subscribers in households increased to 99.4%.
Magticom once again accounted for the largest number of residential subscribers in 2024 with 518,000, which is 10,000 more than in the previous year. The number of Silknet subscribers increased by 19,000 to 341,000. Akhali Kselebi Group accounted for 64,000 subscribers as in the previous year. Skytel also had 64,000 subscribers, which is 6,000 more than in 2023.
As for the distribution of fixed broadband business subscribers by company, Silknet had the largest number of subscribers with 24,000, which is 1,000 more than in the previous year. The number of business subscribers of Magticom remained unchanged and amounted to 16,000. The number of subscribers of Skytel and Akhali Kselebi Group also remained unchanged at 6,000 and 3,000, respectively.
Over the past 5 years, the number of residential and business subscribers using fibre-optic technology has increased at a cumulative annual rate of 5.8%. In 2024, the number of subscribers using this technology increased by 46,000 (4.7%) year-over-year and amounted to 1,043,000. As in the previous year, only the number of fibre-optic subscribers increased in 2024, while the number of subscribers using other technologies decreased. This is due to the development of the fibre-optic broadband network, which has enhanced its availability.
The number of subscribers using fixed wireless access technology decreased by 2,000 year-over-year and amounted to 97,000. The number of xDSL subscribers fell by 3,000 compared to the previous year, to a total of 12,000. The number of fixed LTE subscribers remained unchanged at 4,000. This is due to the fact that fibre-optic technology offers subscribers faster internet, higher bandwidth and lower latency. Therefore, authorised undertakings are increasingly trying to replace the outdated and limited technologies with fibre-optic technology.
Starlink's entry into the Georgian market in 2023 made satellite technology available. The number of Starlink subscribers increased by 1,869 in 2024 and amounted to 2,360.
