As of 2025, about 83% of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s population uses the Internet. 4G/LTE networks reach roughly 94% of the population, served by BH Telecom (BH Mobile), M:tel, and HT Eronet. 5G is not commercially deployed in 2025, with authorities predicting spectrum auctions may occur in 2025–2026 after regulatory delays. Fixed broadband shares (2023) are DSL around 50.1%, Cable about 29.8%, Fiber (FTTx) about 12.6%, Fixed Wireless about 7.2%, and Leased lines about 0.2%. FTTH fiber coverage reaches less than 10% of households, one of the lowest fiber coverage rates in Europe. Starlink is set to enter Bosnia in 2025,

By the end of 2022, roughly 71% of Montenegrin households were covered by fiber (FTTH/B), with speeds from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps and about 49% of fixed broadband subscriptions fiber-based by late 2023. 4G LTE networks cover 97–98% of the population across 800/1800/2600 MHz bands, with LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation on 2–3 bands raising speeds beyond the 2019 average of about 10 Mbps. 5G launched in 2022, initially via 4G spectrum sharing and later on dedicated 3.6 GHz bands; by early 2023, 5G covered about 75.8% of the population (roughly 10.3% of the territory), with commercial deployment in Podgorica, Bar,
