Canadian rural 4G Speed goes Up by 70 Percent for past few years | Canada 4G internet Speed

Canada's rural 4G speeds are up 70% year-over-year according to Opensignal's report. A new report by Opensignal showed that Canada's download speeds increased by an average of about 40 percent, and over 70.7 percent on Canada's largest network. 




Opensignal's May 2020 Mobile Network Experience Report showed that Canada's mobile download speed increased from 42.5 Mbps in 2019 to 59.6 Mbps in 2020. The high speed pushed Canada to the number one position among the G7 nations and top-5 countries globally, even compared to countries that have already rolled to 5G. 

In addition, Opensignal reported a significant increase in mobile speeds in rural areas. Between 2019 and 2020, rural Canada's download speed increased from 33.8 percent to 71.4 percent. Tales ranked first at 48.1 Mbps, followed by Bell at 43.6 Mbps and Rogers at 34.4 Mbps. 

Even Rogers, the slowest carrier of the Big Three, delivered services in rural areas faster than the average speed in European countries such as Germany, averaging only 28.7Mbps. Ian Fogg, vice president of Opensignal, attributed the development not only to improvements in technology, but also to the carriers preparing for the 5G launch. 

Because the first phase of 5G deployment, called non-standalone 5G (NSA), will initially rely on 4G cores to deliver data between the radio access network (RAN) and the server, the 4G infrastructure needs to increase the bandwidth. An upgrade is required to accommodate. In addition, NSA 5G still carries more data than 4G signals, so LTE connections are required. "What carriers often do is they'll start upgrading some of their founding elements in the run-up to launch 5G," Fogg said. "Because you should upgrade as well. 

This is the weakest link that comes in the form of a bottleneck. "In large urban centers, Telus still ranks as the fastest mobile carrier with an average download speed of 99.9 Mbps. Bell lagged slightly behind at 94.0 Mbps, while Rogers lagged behind his nearest rival at 63.1 Mbps, around 27 Mbps.

Canada's deployment of 5G received a setback last Friday when Innovation, Canada Science and Economic Development (ISED) announced that the much awaited 3,500MHz spectrum 5G spectrum would be auctioned by six months to June 21, 2021. Currently, Rogers is the only Canadian carrier with an active 5G service that delivers data in the 2,500 MHz frequency range.

Despite the use of social isolation driving networks, Okla's Speedtest showed that Canada's overall average mobile download speed remained unchanged for the most part. Compared to the peak week of March 2, mobile download speeds have dropped by just eight percent.
