H OpenSignal conducted a study where he found that WiFi connections lag far behind speed from mobile network connections. The research was done in 33 countries including Greece.
Indicative the countries where the survey was conducted is from Australia, where the cellular speed is 13Mbps faster than Wi-Fi, France, where it was 2,5Mbps faster. In Greece the mobile network is 10,6 Mbps faster than the fastest WiFi Hotspot can provide. In contrast, in Singapore, Hong Kong, and the US, Wi-Fi connections were much faster than mobile (34 Mbps, 38 Mbps, and 25 Mbps respectively).
Ian Fogg, vice president at OpenSignal, urged them cell phones δίκτυα και τις πλατφόρμες smartphone να επανεξετάσουν κάποιες βασικές υποθέσεις. Επί του παρόντος, ένα τηλέφωνο “γυρνάει” προς ένα δίκτυο Wi-Fi όποτε αυτό μπορεί, υποθέτοντας ότι αυτό παρέχει στον χρήστη μια ανώτερη σύνδεση στο Internet. But increasingly, things are different. When the devices of a WiFi network multiply they will give to users a worse experience, always relative to the corresponding increase in devices on the mobile network.
And all this while we are waiting for the 5G network.
