While we hear a lot about automated provisioning and NaaS, how long does it really take to get a quote for DIA service?
Or more to the point: how long does it take to actually get a circuit installed?
And what do enterprises really think of their ISPs?
What will everyone be talking about at PTC'26, and what headlines do you need to brush up on to make the most of the event?
This is what our team has been thinking about as we prep for the January conference and outline our annual telecom workshop. (No spoilers on that just yet, but watch this space.)
The good news is that you can borrow from our expert conference planning.
Europe is experiencing a surge in capacity demand with a critical need to connect numerous data centers. Consequently, larger customers are shifting to higher capacity services, specifically 400 Gbps and dark fiber.
What determines the cost of business broadband? The price depends on a variety of factors:
Providers’ shift to predominantly 100 Gbps internet backbones continues to reduce the average cost of carrying traffic, enabling profitability at lower prices. As a result, price erosion remains the universal norm, reflecting the introduction of competition into new markets and the response of more expensive carriers to lower prices.
New data from TeleGeography’s Transport Networks Research Service tells a story about changing bandwidth pricing trends, the factors that drive them, and what we might expect to see in the market.
Here's what we know about wholesale pricing in 2025.
Industry conferences are like orchestras: they bring together many sounds which may be hard for the untrained ear to differentiate.
We at TeleGeography are well-equipped to listen to the many melodies sung at telecom industry gatherings. Most recently, I joined colleagues in São Paulo to discuss regional trends at the Capacity LATAM event.
We're pumped to have Dennis Thankachan, Co-Founder and CEO of Lightyear, back on TeleGeography Explains the Internet.
Last time Dennis joined us on the show, we dug into Lightyear's approach to creating a digital telecom lifecycle automation platform for enterprise networks.
This time, we discuss their State of Connectivity Report, which dovetails nicely with many of the issues we research here at TeleGeography. (Perhaps this read is a perfect companion to our State of the Network? A match made in heaven, etc.)
Hello, gentle readers, and welcome to the 2025 State of the Network Report—our eighth edition.
The TeleGeography team spent the last year compiling market surveys, building algorithms, and analyzing emerging trends, and now we're ready to share the highlights.
