  • Mobile saw an increase of 59.5 percent when comparing July 2020 to July 2021 and fixed broadband saw an increase of 31.9 percent.
  • Top 10 rankings for mobile and fixed broadband are somewhat constant from 2019 to 2021, yet each list's leaders are radically different.
  • Most of the top 10 countries for either list performed well over the global average for both fixed and mobile broadband overall.
