What the latest data shows

Three figures our analysts track every quarter. Each one opens a dashboard with the detail, definitions and sources behind it.

Public data isn't the same as usable data

Most of the broadband market is reported somewhere. Very little of it is reported the same way twice. Turning it into data you can rely on, quarter after quarter, is what you pay us for.

Buried

Figures sit in PDFs, investor slides and regulator spreadsheets that change shape every year. We extract them consistently, every time.

Counted differently

Lines, subscribers or connections. Residential or total. Retail or wholesale. We put every operator on the same definitions.

Out of step

Financial years, reporting lags and restated figures. We align everything to calendar quarters and update the history when figures change.

Who's who

Since 2020, Voneus has brought together Rural Comms, SWS Broadband, Cadence Networks, Broadway Partners and Airband's customers. A scraper sees separate names. Our model sees one operator's history.

Every figure is cited to its source and checked by our analysts before it's published. Where operators don't report, we estimate, and say so. Then it's delivered ready for your spreadsheets, your models and your AI tools. How we do it
