For the second year in a row, Ukraine has secured the top spot globally for fixed internet stability.

This information was shared by the press service of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, referencing the findings of the Digital Quality of Life Index 2024.

The index evaluates the quality of digital services, including internet connectivity.

According to the statement, Ukraine achieved this ranking due to the xPON technology, which allows connectivity for up to 72 hours without power, enabling individuals to stay connected during blackouts.

In recent years, Ukraine has emerged as a leader in xPON connections, the Ministry reports. In 2021, 30% of the population used this technology, while the plan for this year aims for 65% coverage.

“Russia continues to destroy critical infrastructure daily, and our goal is to cover every populated area with this technology,” the press service stated.

In comparison, Russia ranks 9th in the world for fixed internet stability.

Additionally, Ukraine ranks 56th for fixed internet speed and 98th for mobile internet speed.
