Synopsis

Slovenia’s broadband market continues to be dominated by a small number of players, including the incumbent telco Telekom Slovenije as well as Telemach and T-2. Despite the launch of competing platforms, DSL remains the most popular access method though its market share is being eroded by the steady development of fibre-based networks, as well as by upgraded cable networks. The deployment of DOCSIS3.1 among cablcos provides data rates of at least 1Gb/s, and so enable operators to improve the delivery of bundled services and retain customers in the face of competition from fibre networks.

Increased internet usage and activity has characterised an emerging internet society, comprised of e-government, e-commerce and e-health among other services.
