Ofcom<\/a> and crowdsourced benchmark firm umlaut have examined a sample size of 200,000 Android using UK mobile users between January and April 2020 to identify key trends. For example, people were connected to 4G<\/a> for 82% of the time in urban areas, but only 76% in rural ones (most of the rest was spent on 3G<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The new Mobile Matters<\/strong><\/a> report also found that, during the pre-lockdown research period, people using Three UK<\/a>’s network continued to spend more time on mobile networks than those on EE<\/a>, O2<\/a> and Vodafone<\/a> (42% vs. an average of 33% for EE<\/a>, O2<\/a> and Vodafone<\/a>). However, people using EE<\/a>’s network spent the highest proportion of time connected to 4G<\/a> (87%), compared to those using Three UK<\/a> who spent 73% of the time on 4G<\/a> (EE does tend to have wider 4G coverage).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The sample data for 5G<\/a> networks is still too small to be included in most areas of this report.<\/div>\n

Despite this we all spend a lot of time at home or in an office, where a WiFi<\/a> network is often available. Ofcom<\/a> found that 65% of the time, devices were connected to Wi-Fi rather than to a cellular network. People in urban areas were slightly more likely than those in rural areas to be connected to Wi-Fi (66% vs. 64%). But, during the COVID-19 lockdown, 74% were connected to Wi-Fi instead of mobile broadband, due to being stuck at home.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere the report found that there were no significant differences in failure rates for mobile connections between operators. On the other hand, analysis of performance in high-traffic areas shows that 3G<\/a> and 4G connections were “almost twice as likely to fail<\/em>” during peak times than at other times throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Summary of Key Mobile Matters Results<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* The average mobile call in the initial weeks of lockdown lasted 5 minutes and 26 seconds, which was nearly 2 minutes more than before the social and working restrictions began (3 minutes 40 seconds).<\/p>\n

* Many people are not using their mobile for traditional calls at all. Ofcom\u2019s data shows that 22% did not make or receive a single call on their mobile network in the first 11 weeks of the year. This can in part be explained by the rise of newer communications services such as WhatsApp, Zoom and others \u2013 whether for calls, instant messaging or group video calls.<\/p>\n

* On average, people could use data services on 4G networks on 97% of occasions whenever they attempted to do so, with no significant difference by nation or rurality.<\/p>\n

* The overall percentages for the reliability of 3G and 4G data services for the pre-lockdown period in 2020 were in line with the average figures for the similar period in 2019.<\/p>\n

* On average, Wi-Fi response times (network latency in milliseconds) were half those of 4G connections (20ms vs 44ms), with no significant differences by rurality. The average response time on older 3G networks was higher, with significant differences by rurality (64ms in rural vs. 58ms in urban areas).<\/p>\n
