The number of broadband subscribers in the Netherlands passed the four million mark during the fourth quarter of 2005, ending the year with 4.125 million, growing 27.6 percent compared with 2004, according to Telecompaper's Dutch Broadband 2005 report. Broadband penetration per household in the Netherlands increased to 58.2 percent at the end of 2005, up 13.4 percent compared to the penetration rate at the end of 2004 (44.8 percent). Penetration per 100 inhabitants increased to 25.3 percent at the end of the year, 30.6 percent up from 19.4 percent last year, and 1.9 percent more than in Q2. Wanadoo and @home have joined Planet Internet by becoming the second and third ISP to pass the 500,000 broadband subscriber mark, ending the year with 505,000 and 531,000 user respectively. Planet Internet grew by 72,000 additions in Q4, as much as the total net additions during the first nine months of 2005, ending the year with 577,000 customers. KPN's share of the Dutch broadband market has increased to more than 35 percent. The aforementioned ADSL ISPs plus acquisitions caused the number of KPN ADSL customers to grow to 1.47 million in 2005. Telecompaper estimates that the Dutch broadband market will continue to grow driven by increasing demand for VoIP and IPTV services, and will reach the 4.5 million customer mark during the second quarter of 2006.
