How Hungarians use their mobile phones at Lake Balaton in summer
Peak season boosted by Balaton Crossing
Just as the M7 motorway and catering facilities at Lake Balaton get busier in the summer, the mobile network also faces a heavy load during this period. August is the month when mobile data traffic peaks with the highest levels usually recorded in Siófok. During the 42nd Lidl Balaton Crossing on 21 July, the number of voice calls increased compared to a similar summer day. According to a recent Yettel analysis of mobile traffic at Lake Balaton, people spent between four and nine times as much time on the phone on that day as on an average winter day.
