According to ANCOM, internet consumption in Romania is in line with the 25%-30% growth rate registered globally.
“As per data provided by suppliers, data traffic in mobile networks is expected to have grown nearly 4% lately. Also, data traffic in fixed networks saw a significant increase of 28%, in line with the average registered globally, where internet traffic saw growths of 25%-30% in the first month of the COVID-19 pandemic”, according to ANCOM representatives.
“Also, forecasts show voice traffic advanced nearly 10% in mobile networks and 6% in fixed networks (…)”, the statement also reads.
ANCOM representatives also said the increase in internet traffic in fixed networks is due to the fact that many Romanians work from home or attend online courses, thus, using less mobile internet.
