Opensignal 5G report

Opensignal recognized that 5G connectivity gives the mobile experience of Filipinos a big boost in speeds, improves video streaming and the multiplayer mobile gaming experience. A recent report by Opensignal shows the differences between the mobile experience of Filipino users when they are on 3G, 4G or 5G connections in terms of their average download and upload speeds, their experience when streaming video and the quality of their mobile gaming experience. On the other hand, Opensignal's users saw average upload speeds of 14.5 Mbps when connected to 5G or 10.5 Mbps higher than those seen on 4G. As per Opensignal, this indicates that currently, the 4G/5G uplift on average upload speeds is less in percentage terms than the difference seen when moving from 3G to 4G. Moving forward, Opensignal’s Games Experience measures how mobile users experience real-time multiplayer mobile gaming on an operator’s network. Opensignal mentioned that Filipino users had a Fair (65-75) games experience when connected to 5G. Opensignal, however, noted that unlike 4G, 5G is not yet a mature technology, indicating that the gap will likely widen between 4G and 5G in future.
