Hungary’s Digital Lifeline: How Fiber, 5G, and Satellites Are Rewiring the Nation
As of late 2023, more than 97% of Hungarian households have access to wired fixed broadband networks, including FTTH and upgraded cable. Thanks to the Superfast Internet Programme (SZIP), by 2020 at least 30 Mbps service reached over 95% of households in underserved areas. By 2022, gigabit-speed networks pass about two-thirds of households, and Very High Capacity Network coverage rose from 72% in 2021 to 80% in 2022, well above the EU average of about 72%. Pure fiber (FTTP) coverage reached 70% of households by 2022, up from roughly 50% two years earlier. Mobile networks provide nearly universal 4G coverage
