Figures from the CRTC<\/a> show that the number of broadband subscriptions in Canada have only been growing at a rate of 3.3% per year on a base of 12 million. <\/p>\n

Between 2018 and 2021<\/a>, the number of households in Canada grew by about 440,000. <\/p>\n

In other words, broadband subscription growth is largely attributable to growth in the total number of households (population growth and immigration) and new construction in rural and remote areas. <\/p>\n

The overwhelming majority of households that have access to broadband already subscribe to a broadband service. Growth in the industry is fuelled by consumers choosing to subscribe to higher speed services, as can be seen in CRTC data:<\/p>\n
