Opensignal, an independent mobile analytics company specialising in quantifying mobile network experience released a report for New Zealand highlighting that Kiwi mobile users see nearly five times faster speeds on 5G than on Wifi.
Opensignal say the main findings of the report include:
New Zealand’s 5G speed are 4.8 times faster than Wifi
While smartphone users’ Wifi speeds were on average 8.7 Mbps (20.7%) faster than those seen on 4G, 5G speeds were a breathtaking 190.2 Mbps faster than the average speeds of 50.5 Mbps when connected to Wifi. Kiwi smartphone users clocked up an impressive 240.7 Mbps for 5G Download Speed — 4.8 times and 5.7 times faster than the average speeds seen when connected to Wifi or 4G, respectively, the report shows.
Smartphone users in New Zealand have a good games experience on Wifi and 5G, but not on 4G
The report shows that Kiwi users saw no statistically significant difference in their experience when playing multiplayer mobile games on smartphones when on Wifi or when connected to 5G, with scores of 77.5 and 79.9 points for Games Experience on a 100 point scale, respectively.
The arrival of 5G means that Wifi is no longer always superior to cellular
Although average 5G download speeds are faster than Wifi and 5G gaming is on a par, Wifi will continue to have an important role — especially when backing up files and downloading large apps due to the low cost of data it provides compared to many mobile plans. Also, 5G services need to expand considerably because in the majority of locations only 4G is available.
