Broadband connections within the network of Baku Telephone Communications Production Association rose by almost two times since early 2014, the association told Trend Aug. 20

The Baku Telephone Communications Production Association is included into the Azerbaijani Communications and High Technologies Ministry.

The production association noted that as of August 1, 2014, the total number of connections, taking into account the ports of private service providers, has reached 400,000, more than half of whom being users of state-run internet provider BakinterNet.

Azerbaijan state-run communications operator has started to provide services to end-users for access to the internet via fiber optic lines with the help of the technology known as FTTH (Fiber to the Home).

FTTH has an abundance of capacity, and data transmission speed is dozens of megabits per second, and can be distributed among home users.

Using the asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) home users get from 2 to 8 megabits per second (quality depends both on the telephone line's condition and the distance to the nearest automatic telephone exchange), however with the FTTH the data transmission speed will vary from 10 to 100 megabits per second.
