As all services are based on JT's infrastructure, there is limited competition. Nevertheless, islanders enjoy average fixed broadband download speeds which outstrip the UK and other small countries.<ref name=":0" /> As of 2021, Jersey has the highest broadband speeds of any country in the world, with an average rate of 274.27&nbsp;Mbit/s, compared with Liechtenstein, which only had speeds of 211.26&nbsp;Mbit/s, and the global average of just 9.10&nbsp;Mbit/s.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-09-17 |title=Island claims top spot in global broadband speed |url=https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2021/09/17/island-claims-top-spot-in-global-broadband-speed/ |access-date=2022-02-27 |website=Jersey Evening Post |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Worldwide Broadband Speed League 2021 |url=https://www.cable.co.uk/broadband/speed/worldwide-speed-league/ |access-date=2022-02-27 |website=Cable.co.uk |language=en}}</ref>

JT has dominance over the broadband sector, with 68% broadband market share in 2015, however this is declining relative to the competition. In terms of value for money on high-speed internet services, Jersey broadband consumers pay lower prices than nations like Bermuda, but higher prices than in the UK or the Isle of Man, but for lower-speed services islanders pay far lower prices than other small islands (and less than UK consumers).<ref name=":0" />

Internet connectivity to the rest of the world is provided by undersea cables linked to Guernsey, the UK and France. In 2016, a ship – believed to be the King Arthur owned by Mediterranea di Navigazione – dragging its anchor on the seabed in the English Channel cut the three main internet cables to Jersey and Guersey. As a result, all communications traffic had to travel via cables to France.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2016-11-29 |title=Ship's anchor severs Jersey's undersea internet cables |language=en-GB |publisher=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-jersey-38141230 |access-date=2022-02-27}}</ref>
