FAQs
Is Mobile Data plan slower than non-mobile?
Generally, mobile data plans are slower than non-mobile internet connections, such as those provided by a cables or fiber optics services. This is because mobile data networks are typically shared by many users, and the available bandwidth is divided among all the users on the network. In contrast, a non-mobile internet connection is typically dedicated to a single user, so it can provide faster speeds and more consistent performance.
