ADSL customer numbers down 90k in February as mobile data subscribers grow in number

ADSL providers lost 90k subscribers in February, falling to 4.37 mn subscribers compared to January, according to the CIT Ministry’s indicators in brief report. We suspect TE Data’s near-monopoly status and poor service has a lot to do with that, given that more people are migrating to 3G data packages, demand for which grew by 2.1% m-o-m. ADSL subscribers remain concentrated in Greater Cairo, which had 42% of the total subscriptions, according to the report.
