Three rankings on the spread of communications: fixed broadband subscriptions, internet use and mobile cellular subscriptions.

Subscriptions are not users. Mobile figures count SIM lines, so second devices, work lines and prepaid cards sold to tourists all add in, and exceeding 100 per 100 people is normal. All 24 countries with a 2024 value are above 150, and Fiji reads 574.15 — an average of 5.7 lines per resident, a figure better explained by a change in how dormant lines are counted than by adoption.
