The quality of 4G video in Brazil is now better than the experience users have in the United States, according to a new global study by mobile analytics firm Opensignal.
Compared to last year’s report, video experience improved in 59 of the 100 countries analyzed in the report, and Brazil had an evolution of 6.4 points. This means that, for the first time, Brazil entered the list of countries where quality is considered to be good.
On the other hand, US consumers have seen a slight improvement, but 4G video quality is considered fair. Americans had the lowest score across G7 countries – according to the report, this reflects the struggle of US carriers around the combination of huge video consumption and insufficient mobile spectrum.
This is an issue the US shares with other major mobile markets, such as South Korea and Canada. According to the report, both countries have some of the fastest download speeds in the world, but rank 21st and 22nd, respectively, in 4G video experience.
