La cuota de mercado de los operadores de cable ha ca do en pr cticamente todos los tipos de municipios.
A nivel nacional continu el incremento de los accesos de banda ancha impulsado por los notables niveles de captaci n de los operadores alternativos a trav s del servicio de desagregaci n del bucle y por una recuperaci n del volumen de accesos de Telef nica debido a una ganancia neta de l neas FTTH.
Las l neas de banda ancha activas con velocidad de conexi n de 30 Mbps o superior alcanz la cifra de 1,4 millones de accesos, que representa un porcentaje del 12% sobre el total del mercado de banda ancha.

En estos dos ltimos municipios el impulso de la cobertura de redes NGA fue proporcionado por la red de fibra FTTH desplegada por Telef nica.
En los municipios de entre 100.000 y un mill n de habitantes el elevado porcentaje de cobertura se debi a la presencia de accesos HFC DOCSIS 3.0. Finalmente, en los municipios con poblaci n inferior a 10 mil habitantes, el VDSL capaz de proporcionar 30 Mbps fue la red NGA m s significativa.
A nivel nacional, se estima que el porcentaje de poblaci n cubierta por alguna red fija NGA alcanz el 49,4% (23,3 millones de habitantes) frente al 41% de junio de 2012. Este volumen de conexiones elev la penetraci n de la banda ancha a las 25 l neas por cada 100 habitantes, frente a las 23,8 l neas de junio de 2012.
La tecnolog a xDSL continu como principal modo de acceso a la banda ancha con casi 9,1 millones de l neas (77,8% del total de accesos). Por su parte, las l neas de banda ancha a trav s de cable H brido Fibra-Coaxial (HFC) se mantuvieron pr cticamente estables y se situaron en los 2,07 millones de conexiones. Cabe se alar, que el total de accesos activos HFC DOCSIS 3.0 sumaron 2,34 millones considerando aquellos accesos sobre los que se presta cualquier servicio, telefon a fija, audiovisual o banda ancha, bien sea aisladamente o en combinaci n con otro.
