The figure contains the xDSL connections supplied by telecommunications operators to individual end users and housing corporations (85,800 in 2005) as well as shared xDSL connections to real estate. The total number in the table excludes the broadband connections which housing corporations have divided between end users, that is, xDSL subscriptions of housing corporations broken down to the end user level.

The transmission speed of 29 per cent of the subscriptions was 2 Mbps or higher; 19 per cent had a transmission speed of at least 2 Mbps but under 8 Mbps, and ten per cent of the subscriptions had a transmission speed of 8 Mbps or higher.
