Record Mobile Data Use in the Netherlands
Mobile data usage in the Netherlands surged 16% in Q2, driven by 5G at home.
According to the Telecommonitor from the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), mobile data usage reached a new high, surpassing the previous record set just three months earlier, with an increase of over 16 percent.
The regulator suggested that the increase could be partly due to Odido's Klik&Klaar internet service, which allows customers to use 5G internet at home without needing a cable, counting towards mobile data rather than fixed-line internet.
- Mobile data usage in the second quarter reached 719 million gigabytes.
- The last time there was a larger percentage increase was in the second quarter of 2023, when it rose by more than 20 percent.
No official investigation into the cause was conducted.
