LTE continues to gain ubiquity around the world, even in developing markets — but the rivalry between Verizon and T-Mobile US has helped drive the availability of LTE in the United States to put the country in fifth place globally in terms of LTE access, according to OpenSignal’s new State of Mobile Network Experience report.
OpenSignal found that across 87 countries, the average availability of 4G networks was 80%. Fifteen markets scored above 90%, including the U.S.
Wireless technology powerhouse South Korea scored the highest speed, with average mobile download speeds of more than 50 Mbps; Norway was close behind, at 48.2 Mbps.
