DNA customers are the biggest mobile data users in the world – data use is highest in the evening
DNA customers were also the world champions of mobile data use in 2015, when they used almost 6 GB of data per subscription per month.
“We are proud to be able to provide our customers with high-quality connections enabling them to use more mobile data per month than the combined figures for Korea and Sweden. In fact, use of mobile data by DNA customers is in a class of its own: almost 10 GB per subscription per month,” says Jarkko Laari, Director of Radio Networks at DNA.
The daily use of data in DNA’s network is fairly symmetrical, and we can identify certain usage peaks that are almost identical on all weekdays.
“On weekdays, we can identify the first peak in mobile data use between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. The next peak occurs in the afternoon between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. This reflects a typical pattern where our customers begin to use mobile data as soon as they wake up and continue to use it when travelling to work. Mobile data use increases in the afternoon, when children and young people return home from school. Mobile data use is greatest between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. in the evenings, when customers view entertainment content through streaming services, for example,” Laari explains.
“On the weekends, people tend to wake up later and begin to use mobile data later than on weekdays, at around 10 a.m. After this, mobile data use increases steadily towards the evening, without the morning and afternoon peaks typical of weekdays,” Laari continues.
Finnish people are the world’s greatest mobile data users for the third year in a row
Average mobile data use by Finnish people is 7 GB per month per subscription. Finland has held onto its top position in this respect for three years in a row. The next positions are held by Korea, Sweden, Austria and Iceland.
“The report by Tefficient shows that data use volumes have continued to increase, particularly among operators and countries where the level was high to begin with. Most of our customers have subscriptions with unlimited data access, and our subscription prices are considerably lower than in many other countries,” Laari says.
There is a clear connection between subscriptions with unlimited data access and high mobile data usage. Similarly, reasonable prices increase the use of mobile data. The higher the price, the lower the use of mobile data.
“One of the noteworthy findings in the report by Tefficient is that Finnish people use approximately 13 times more data per month than Dutch people. In the Netherlands, the average price of one GB is 14 times that of Finland, which certainly reduces the use of mobile data there,” Laari points out.
