Market share of broadband connections in Switzerland

However, looking at broadband providers as a whole (CATV, DSL and FTTx) Swisscom remains far ahead of its closest competitors, with a market share of 48%.
Sunrise’s market share stood at around 28%, that of the other cable network operators at around 13% (including Quickline at 4%), while the market share of the other telecom operators was 7% and Salt’s 4%.
* The above figures for broadband connections in Switzerland include Swisscom's customers who are supplied via an FTTH/B connection as well as via hybrid fibre and copper technologies (FTTC and FTTS), plus the customers of alternative providers who use the network of the historic provider or the public utilities infrastructure.
