According to their statistics, the average Internet connection speed of Norwegians' mobile phones has increased by 69% during the last year and has speed of 52.6 megabits per second.
The development has been specially noticed after Telenor, a major operator in Norway, increased the speed on individual subscriptions last September.
Telenor is one of the three operators in Norway that have built their own mobile networks which other operators are hiring. Telenor, Telia and Ice.net all have invested billions of kroner in developing their 4G networks in recent years, DN wrote.
