Georgia\u2019s two largest internet providers, MagtiCom (Magti) and Silknet, collectively dominate the country\u2019s fixed internet market, with a combined 78% market share as of 2025. Recent data from the Communications Commission sheds light on their subscriber base and potential revenue, especially in light of Magti\u2019s recent tariff increase.<\/p>\n
Starting August 1, 2025, Magti will increase the monthly tariff by GEL 3 for 496,168 of its fixed internet users. The change applies to the basic 50 Mbps package, which, according to the Commission, leaves no room for consumers to opt for a more affordable alternative within the provider\u2019s network.<\/p>\n
The Communications Commission has called the price hike unjustified, criticizing the absence of lower-tier plans and the lack of consumer choice.<\/p>\n
Georgia currently has 1.14 million fixed internet subscribers. According to market share data:<\/p>\n
Magti holds 46% \u2013 approximately 529,251 subscribers
\nSilknet holds 32% \u2013 approximately 364,600 subscribers
\nSkytel has 6%
\nNew networks account for 4%<\/p>\n
According to the Communications Commission, the regional distribution of fixed internet subscribers is as follows:<\/p>\n
Tbilisi \u2013 472,000
\nAdjara \u2013 119,000
\nImereti \u2013 113,000
\nKvemo Kartli \u2013 99,000
\nKakheti \u2013 67,000
\nSamegrelo-Zemo Svaneti \u2013 63,000
\nShida Kartli \u2013 59,000
\nSamtskhe-Javakheti \u2013 44,000
\nMtskheta-Mtianeti \u2013 25,000
\nGuria \u2013 21,000
\nRacha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti \u2013 2,500<\/p>\n
The Communications Commission has voiced concerns over the lack of competitive alternatives and rising prices in the fixed internet market, especially in light of Magti’s pricing model. The regulator emphasized that price increases must be accompanied by options for consumers and transparency from providers.<\/p>\n
With the majority of Georgia\u2019s internet infrastructure controlled by just two companies, the Commission may face pressure to enhance oversight and stimulate competition in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Georgia\u2019s two largest internet providers, MagtiCom (Magti) and Silknet, collectively dominate the country\u2019s fixed internet market, with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1497,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[174,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-1496","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-internet","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
