Original title: 4G network speed slows down? Ministry of industry and information technology's response: in the near future, the national 4G network speed remains stable as a whole
In response to the problem of netizens' 4G network speed slowing down ', the Ministry of industry and information technology said today that the national 4G network speed has remained stable as a whole in the near future, but there may be a decline in individual regions and certain periods of time. The main reason is that the growth of 4G user traffic and the improvement of network support capability are not completely matched.
The Ministry of industry and information technology said that regarding the 4G network rate decline reported by netizens, we comprehensively analyzed the detection data from multiple channels, including the broadband development alliance of domestic third-party speed measurement platform, Speedtest, an international speed measurement organization, and the detection systems of three telecom operators. For example, according to the data of broadband development alliance, the average download rate of 4G in China was 24mbps in the third quarter of 2019 and 23.6mbps in the second quarter; according to Speedtest, the average download rate of 4G in China was 48.8mbps in October and 45.3mbps in September.
According to the Ministry of industry and information technology, in general, the national 4G network speed has remained stable in the near future, but there may be a decline in individual regions and certain periods. The main reason is that the growth of 4G user traffic and the improvement of network support capability are not completely matched.
According to statistics, in October 2019, the Dou (mobile Internet access traffic per household) reached 8.5Gb, and the total traffic in the first 10 months increased by more than 83% year on year, which brought great pressure to 4G network. At the same time, the 4G network speed is obviously affected by the degree of user aggregation, such as large venues holding performances, traffic hub rush hours and other periods will cause the 4G network speed to decline.
The Ministry of industry and information technology said that in the future, it will further strengthen the supervision and guidance of basic telecom enterprises, do a good job in network construction and optimization, and ensure service quality. At the same time, it will organize third-party testing institutions to continuously carry out national network speed testing, and carry out a wider range of 4G network quality testing based on the release of 4G network quality testing in key areas such as schools, hospitals, subway lines and high-speed railway stations, so as to continuously improve the network experience.
