People in Finland are getting through up to 10 times more mobile data each month than their European neighbours.
Last year mobile data used per person each month in Finland averagedt 8.7 gigabytes (GB), compared with Austria at 3.7GB, Italy at 1.5GB, France at 1.1GB, and Germany at 833MB.
The reason the country gets through so much data is that it is one of the few countries where operators offer unlimited data plans.
This is going to continue to soar, according to GlobalData forecasts, with average monthly data used set to hit 18GB by 2022.
Operators in Finland are investing heavily on 4G network coverage in order to meet the high demand for mobile video and music streaming
Elisa, Finland’s biggest operator, and DNA, the third operator, recorded data use of 13GB per month, per user in 2017.
