Internet in Norway

According to Akamai’s Q3 2016 State of the Internet report, Norway has an average connection speed of 20.1 Mbps and an average peak connection speed of 55.9 Mbps, placing the country on the 2^nd spot in the world, after South Korea, and first in Europe.

According to the 2015 census, Norway has a population of roughly 5,3 million. Nearly 5,05 million are connected to the Internet, which gives the country an impressive Internet penetration rate of 95.1%, among the highest in the entire European Union.

The Internet infrastructure primarily consists of broadband connections. There are two important such connections in Norway, namely ADSL and Cable.

The industry experiences fast-paced advancement owing to the fact it belongs to the private sector. The market is highly divided between a few ISPs. The most important market leaders are Telenor, NextGenTel and Ventelo. Telenor owns most of the lines, and is the most popular provider for both private individuals and businesses.

The competition between these ISPs is very fierce. As such, prices vary from company to company. According to latest data provided by Numbeo, one should expect to pay anywhere between the equivalent of $30 to $40 per month for a basic ADSL or cable subscription in local currency (NOK). Prices can go higher if the client opts for quicker and more reliable connections, such as ADSL2+, where prices can go as high as $50 per month.

In spite of the relatively high and disadvantageous cost, one particular positive characteristic that is not to be found in many countries is that ISPs do not tie customers to yearly subscriptions. Month-to-month, no-strings-attached type of subscriptions do exist and are popular among the local clientele.

The Norwegian web hosting industry also keeps pace with the advancement of the Internet industry. By analyzing some of the most prominent Norwegian hosting providers on the market, we’ve determined that offers are diverse, well-defined and cater to many budgets. Prices for core hosting services such as Shared, VPS and Dedicated Hosting usually start at $5, $20 and $150 per month respectively. However, select companies offer better deals, prices for the same services starting at $2, $10 and $90 per month respectively. Features included in subsequent plans are capped to specific limits as opposed to their being offered on an “unmetered” basis, but are resourceful enough for small and medium-sized websites, as a general rule.
