The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) of Jordan has released its statistical report for the fourth quarter of 2025, highlighting a significant transition in the nation’s digital landscape. While traditional fixed voice services experienced a slight decline of 1.8%, falling to 4.772 million subscribers, the data sectors showed robust growth. Notably, 5G mobile subscriptions surged by 184% year-on-year, reaching 320,700 by the end of 2025. This rapid adoption of next-generation connectivity is mirrored in the fixed broadband market, where fiber-optic technology now dominates, accounting for 79% of all fixed internet subscriptions.
Mobile broadband usage continues to expand, with total subscriptions rising to 8.5 million and data consumption growing by 23.7% to reach 813.9 million gigabytes. In the fixed broadband segment, the shift toward high-capacity lines is evident; average monthly data usage per subscription rose to 662 gigabytes, a 20% increase from the previous year. Conversely, traditional communication methods are seeing a downturn, as mobile text messages plummeted by 42.5% and fixed-line voice traffic dropped by 30%, reflecting a broader consumer shift toward data-driven applications and internet-based messaging.
The report also underscores high levels of mobile penetration, which reached 110% when measured against the population aged over 15. The residential sector remains the primary driver for fixed services, accounting for 67% of subscriptions. As fiber-optic connections reach 652,200 households and 5G infrastructure continues to scale, Jordan’s telecommunications infrastructure is increasingly characterized by high-speed data capabilities rather than legacy voice services.
