South African networks see the worst 4G signal strength but fastest 4G download speeds at night
Posted: May 25, 2023
Opensignal analyzed how energy usage changes on South African networks throughout the day. We observe that South African operators use less spectrum and carrier bands at night, while the 4G signal strength is also the weakest at night. For the purpose of the analysis, we focus on 4G metrics, as only MTN and Vodacom have launched commercial mobile 5G services in South Africa.
