(Telecompaper) A total of 112,000 fibre to the home (FTTH) lines were added in Spain in August to increase the number of active connections in the country to 9.6 million, according to the latest monthly update from regulator CNMC. Fibre lines rose by 1.8 million year on year, offsetting a 1.2 million decline in DSL lines, said the watchdog. HFC lines totalled 2.3 million, down around 147,000 year on year, bringing the fixed broadband total to 15.03 million, up from 14.56 million a year earlier.
