In recent years, mobile internet has not only become faster, but also noticeably more convenient. Yettel has looked beyond the technical data to show how much time everyday users can save by connecting to a reliable, high-speed mobile network – using a variety of real-life scenarios.
Anyone who often sends or downloads large files (such as videos, games, updates or documents) knows that the wait can take several minutes. On a fast network, downloading an average 500 MB file takes less than 30 seconds. With a slower connection, however, the wait can be over three minutes. With just one download a day, a faster internet connection can save you up to an hour and a half per month – time you could use for a longer lunch break or simply for yourself instead of waiting on the internet.
Video calls that really connect
Whether it’s a family video call or an important online meeting, no one likes when the video freezes, the sound cuts out, or – the worst case – you have to reconnect. Up to 2-3 minutes can be lost during a 30-minute call due to connectivity issues – much less likely to occur on a fast, stable mobile network. Just a few calls a week could mean up to an hour of time (and peace of mind) saved each month.
Streaming now, not minutes later
4K video content is becoming increasingly popular not only in the living room, but also on mobile phones. But high resolution doesn’t work well with compromises – insufficient bandwidth results in buffering, lagging, and a poor experience. On a fast network, that’s no longer a concern: the video starts immediately, assuming the streaming provider’s servers are running smoothly. Watching such content 4-5 times a week, you can save several minutes of buffering per month. While that may not seem like much, these interruptions can be frustrating and disrupt your well-earned downtime.
Online games – fast response, no lag
In today's world of competitive online multiplayer games, response time is a cornerstone of success. A stable network means not only less lag, but also that you won’t be dropped from the server, miss a crucial moment, or lose control of your character. Lower ping and reliable connectivity can add up to 30 extra minutes of gameplay per month – and many more first place finishes in your favourite battle royale game.
But the game doesn’t always begin on the battlefield – it often decided at the download stage whether there will be any gaming that day. At the launch of a new season, or when a brand new game is released, downloads of 50-100 GB are not uncommon. On a slow connection, this can take half a day. A fast mobile network gives that time back, so that your evening can be about gaming – not staring at a loading screen.
Mobile hotspot – when every device matters
The classic family travel challenge: a parent’s mobile network being shared with all family members. More users, more demands. A faster network is a win-win here too – no compromises even if a child is watching a video while the parents navigate online. A stable connection means fewer disconnections and reconnections, and a smoother, less stressful journey for everyone.
All in all: several hours saved per month – without changing your mobile habits
Calculations show that an active user who streams videos, downloads files, makes online calls and uses a mobile hotspot can save up to 3-4 hours per month just by surfing on a faster and more reliable mobile network. This time gain isn’t just about the numbers – it’s also about peace of mind, better user experience and flexibility that a well-chosen mobile network can provide.
A network with real development behind it
Yettel already offers high-speed 5G service at more than a thousand base stations across Hungary. According to national average speed measurements by szelessav.net and Ookla, Yettel currently provides the fastest mobile network in Hungary.*
Many people might ask: does mobile network speed really matter?
As shown above, it absolutely does – especially when speed becomes more than just a number, and delivers a tangible benefit in everyday life. Yettel believes that the value of technology lies in how it makes life easier. Its national advertising campaign builds on this idea – highlighting real, everyday situations that demonstrate the importance of a fast network.
