One impact of domestic wireless carriers moving towards “unlimited” data plans appears to be less reliance on offloading their data usage onto Wi-Fi networks, according to a new report from OpenSignal.
The firm noted that in looking at data connection usage of the market’s four nationwide operators during the first quarter of this year it found T-Mobile US customers spent the least amount of time using Wi-Fi, while Verizon Wireless customers spent the most time accessing data services via a non-cellular connection. The numbers came from smartphone users that had downloaded the OpenSignal application.
