As stay-at-home orders loosen around the country, mobility is up on Verizon’s network, while call and texting volumes look much more like normal spring levels.
In its most recent network traffic update, Verizon said that while virtual private network use, gaming and the use of collaboration applications are still significantly elevated, data session handovers indicating that users are moving from one cell site to another have “increased significantly over the past few weeks.”
On Monday of last week, 5.87 billion texts were sent and more than 776 million calls were made, which the network operator noted was “a significant decline from peak pandemic volumes.”
