According to Dutch trade publication Telecompaper, Online.nl had 160,000 subscribers at the end of Q2, 2017, while the combined number of homes served by Stipte and Fiber NL is estimated at between 35,000 and 40,000.
Stipte and Fiber Nederland offer their services as a third-party provider on a number of FTTH networks in the country.
