The mobile broadband speeds were tested from 3600 users proved that the average speed was less than 1Mb. The precise figure was just 0.87Mb, which is considered to be much slower that what is committed. The committed speed by the mobile broadband providers was 3.6Mb and 7.2Mb.

Among those who used the broadband speed test for their mobile broadband speed, only 0.5% got speed of 3Mb. Almost 65% of people received speed less that 1Mb and surprisingly 39% received speeds less than 0.5Mb! Almost 26% got speeds of between 1Mb and 2Mb and only 7% could get from 2Mb to 3Mb.

It is hoped that when 4G services gets started, the mobile broadband speeds will boost considerably. However, the mobile broadband providers may not increase their committed top speeds much.

However, the use of mobile broadband has been increased among the people who use internet while traveling with the help of smart phones and it is hoped that when the new 4G technology it launched, it will go a long way to solving this problem.
