A new study<\/a> from independent mobile analytics firm Opensignal indicates strong performance and service availability, even outside urban areas.<\/p>\n

As a CWTA press release states<\/a>, the Opensignal report<\/a> “shows that mobile video, gaming, and voice app experience in cottage country is on par with the national experience.”

Opensignal reports<\/a> that users in cottage country have strong network access across Canada, being connected to 4G or 5G 93.3% of the time (just 1.4% lower than the national average). <\/p>\n

An analysis by CWTA of recent Opensignal Market Insights reports shows the average 4G download speed for Canada\u2019s cottage country (52.9 Mpbs) is faster than the national average download speeds across all network connections for each of the other G7 countries, plus Australia.
