The fixed internet traffic volume increased by a record rate of 51% in 2020, while mobile internet traffic volume increased by 30%, at a slower pace compared to previous years, the National Authority for Administration and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM) announced.

Three-quarters of the new fixed internet connections in 2020 were installed in rural areas, reflecting the continued reduction of Romania's connectivity gap.

The number of fixed internet lines increased by 8% YoY to 5.7 mln at the end of 2020, of which 4.5 mln (almost 80%) were very high-speed connections (over 100 Mbps).
