| Fixed line telephone numbers have the prefix 21 and 27, although businesses may have numbers starting 22 or 23. Example : 2*80**** if from Żabbar. 2*23**** if from Marsa. Gozitan landline numbers generally are assigned 2*56****. |

| The number of pay TV subscribers fell in 2012 as subscribers cut the cord and began to rely increasingly on IPTV: the number of IPTV subscribers doubled in the six months to June 2012. In late 2012 GO began expanding its FttH network and capabilities, offering speeds of up to 200Mbit/s for its 'rapido' service. The government in early 2012 called for a national FttH network to be built, with a minimum broadband service being upgraded from 4Mbit/s to 100Mbit/s. |
