Benin's fixed broadband subscriptions was 40,117 in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is down 11.67% from 45,419 in 2014 (1.23% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 40,117 | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 25,435 | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 45,419 | 2014 |
| Highest | 73,263 | 2015 |
| Lowest | 21 | 2002 |
| Average since 2015 | 31,260 | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 21 | 2002 |
Over five years it is up 57.72% from 25,435 in 2019 (9.54% a year on average, compounded). Since 2002 it is up 190,933% from 21 in 2002 (40.97% a year on average, compounded).
In 2024, Benin's fixed broadband subscriptions rose 66.4% on 2023 (from 24,113 to 40,117).
Across the 21 yearly changes before that (2003 to 2023), the average change was +112.6% and a typical year strayed about 273% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1,086.5% in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was 69.6% in 2016. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 15% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, Benin had the 131st highest value of the 151 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Fixed broadband subscriptions refers to fixed subscriptions to high-speed access to the public Internet (a TCP/IP connection), at downstream speeds equal to, or greater than, 256 kbit/s. This includes cable modem, DSL, fiber-to-the-home/building, other fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions, satellite broadband and terrestrial fixed wireless broadband. This total is measured irrespective of the method of payment. It excludes subscriptions that have access to data communications (including the Internet) via mobile-cellular networks. It should include fixed WiMAX and any other fixed wireless technologies. It includes both residential subscriptions and subscriptions for organizations.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
