What the numbers say
In 2022, Guinea's fixed broadband subscriptions fell 11.8% on 2021 (from 1,000 to 882).
Across the 11 yearly changes before that (2011 to 2021), the average change was +7.1% and a typical year strayed about 10.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.7 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 20% in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 20% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2013 to 2022 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 6% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
