As more and more people use 5G technology, global cellular data has begun to speed up, and 5G technology almost everywhere can provide faster connection speeds and lower network latency.

A new report from UK-based data outsourcing firm OpenSignal shows that global data connection speeds have increased as 5G technology began to be widely rolled out in late 2019.

Among them, the download speed in South Korea has increased significantly. Before the rollout of 5G, the average speed used by South Korean users was 52.4Mbps, but now the average has increased to 129.7Mbps. Thanks to this, South Korea is listed as the best place in the world for online gaming based on the fastest internet speed. In addition, Canadians have also enjoyed a significant increase in Internet speed, with the average Internet speed rising from 42.5Mbps to 64.1Mbps; the Internet speed used by Internet users in the United Kingdom has increased from 21.7Mbps to 39.7Mbps

It is worth mentioning that the 5G network speed used by Americans ranked last in the above report, and its increase only increased from 21.3Mbps to 37Mbps.

Although the brightness of 5G has contributed to the improvement of global network speed, it has not yet played its full role. OpenSource reminds readers that 5G technology is still in its infancy, and network services are bound to continue to improve over time, just like 4G technology before it.

To date, almost all 5G services have used an early version of the 5G standard—mostly Release 15. Every few years, 3GPP, the industry standards body for 5G technology, coordinates the creation of a new technology mark that vendors and mobile operators will use to improve the user experience. There are already several versions of 5G technology in various stages of development, some of which have already been developed and will soon see widespread commercial deployment.

Apple’s iPhone 12 became the first iPhone to support 5G technology, which debuted in October 2020.

Currently, the iPhone 13 and the fifth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the third-generation 11-inch iPad Pro, and the sixth-generation iPad Mini can all run on 5G networks.
