Telecommunication in Tonga

Compared to the European Union, Tonga is massively lagging behind in the development of telecommunications. Under the country code +676, there were a total of 122,635 connections in 2018. Among them were 107,938 million mobile phones, which corresponds to an average of 1.1 per person. In the EU, this figure is 1.2 mobile phones per person.

In the expansion of broadband Internet connections, Tonga is back. Around 41% of all residents have access to the Internet. Approximately 3% have their own fast Internet connection, which is at least faster than the previous ISDN (more than 2048 kbit/s).

With about 5,367 webhosts, Tonga is below the world's average by population.
