Mobile networks have already beaten Wi-Fi speeds in many countries around the world

Wi-Fi is the easiest, fastest, and most direct way to access the Internet for a number of years, beating mobile networks at a speed of Internet access. Of course, with the passage of years and the evolution of technology, this difference has faded.

Now, thanks to the information collected in a distributed way, it is known that mobile networks are already starting to surpass the speeds of Wi-Fi in many countries around the world.

We are not yet used to using mobile phone networks constantly and permanently to access the Internet on a daily basis. Whenever possible and consciously, we choose Wi-Fi networks, for economic reasons and for the best Internet speed possible.

OpenSignal is now publishing a report showing that this reality is changing and that more and more mobile networks are challenging Wi-Fi networks at the speed of Internet access.

According to OpenSignal, in 33 countries in its data source (80), 4G networks are already faster than the Wi-Fi networks that users have access to. This figure already corresponds to 33% of the countries.

It is interesting to note that, contrary to what might be expected, these differences in speed are found in the countries of Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. It is normal for these countries to have 10 Mbps differences between Wi-Fi and mobile networks.

Nor is it surprising that Wi-Fi has advantages in countries where home connections are faster, as is the case in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and the United States. United.

It is interesting to see this evolution of the speeds of mobile networks, especially since 5G networks and all its advantages, especially in terms of speed of access to the Internet, are about to reach. and to conquer the market in all its aspects. .
