It has always been the case that faster internet access speeds result in higher data consumption, and 5G is no exception to that rule. So far, 5G users consume up to three times as much data as other mobile users. There are a few drivers of that correlation.
When speeds are higher, much more data can be consumed in a finite period of time. Also, if interactions happen faster, any user can conduct more operations. More operations means more data consumed.
Also, the sheer amount of video advertising that appear and execute on consumer websites is substantial. So the more pages viewed, the more data consumed.
In some instances, mobile users might find 5G fast enough that they do not shift to Wi-Fi access. That means more mobile data consumption. In a smaller number of markets, 5G users are on unlimited usage plans, so there is no financial incentive to switch to Wi-Fi. This also increases 5G data consumption.
