Georgia’s two largest internet providers, MagtiCom (Magti) and Silknet, collectively dominate the country’s 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’s recent tariff increase.
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’s network.
The Communications Commission has called the price hike unjustified, criticizing the absence of lower-tier plans and the lack of consumer choice.
Georgia currently has 1.14 million fixed internet subscribers. According to market share data:
- Magti holds 46% – approximately 529,251 subscribers
- Silknet holds 32% – approximately 364,600 subscribers
- Skytel has 6%
- New networks account for 4%
According to the Communications Commission, the regional distribution of fixed internet subscribers is as follows:
- Tbilisi – 472,000
- Adjara – 119,000
- Imereti – 113,000
- Kvemo Kartli – 99,000
- Kakheti – 67,000
- Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti – 63,000
- Shida Kartli – 59,000
- Samtskhe-Javakheti – 44,000
- Mtskheta-Mtianeti – 25,000
- Guria – 21,000
- Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti – 2,500
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.
With the majority of Georgia’s internet infrastructure controlled by just two companies, the Commission may face pressure to enhance oversight and stimulate competition in the coming months.
