Australia: Data reported for December 2018 and onwards is being collected by a new entity using a different methodology. Figures reported from December 2018 comprise a series break and are incomparable with previous data for any broadband measures Australia reports to the OECD. The OECD definition of fibre differs substantially from fibre classifications commonly used in Australian reporting. These figures treat connections known in Australia as 'Fibre-to-the-Node' and 'Fibre-to-the-Curb' as DSL connections, while ‘Fibre-to-the-Premises’ and ‘Fibre-to-the-Basement’ are treated as Fibre connections. Data on technology type prior to Q2-2016 should be treated as indicative until further notice.
Canada: Fixed wireless includes Satellite.
France: Cable data includes VDSL2 and fixed 4G solutions
Italy: Terrestrial fixed wireless data includes WiMax lines; Other includes vDSL services
Data for Switzerland and United States are preliminary.
Costa Rica is currently in the accession process with the OECD.
