Fastest mobile internet
The quality and reliability of communication, and the speed of data transmission on a network depend on a number of parameters. This is the technical equipment of the provider (mobile operator) in your region, and the smartphone itself, which should ensure a proper level of signal reception. Communication speeds can be slow not only outside the city, but even inside large cities.
There are many reasons for this: concrete structures, external power lines, remoteness from the receiving station, and sometimes even actual limitations one the speed enacted by the operator in a specified area. Or perhaps you are sitting in a cafe at the back of a building?
The device itself can be overloaded: in addition to technical equipment, applications that ensure optimal data acquisition and device performance play an important role. This also affects the internal files of the operating system. In order to check and tune your smartphone to be optimal, you need to understand exactly what lowers and what increases the speed of mobile Internet.
How do I know the speed of the Internet?
The following tools can be used for measurements:
1. A special program that comes with a smartphone, if one has been supplied with your smartphone.
2. Download and install a third party speed testing app.
3. Internet sites that allow you to determine the speed of your connection.
It is most preferable to use SpeedTest.net or the Yandex.Internetometer service.
Important: Before proceeding with these measurements, you should first perform these necessary actions…
1. Background applications that work with the network must be disabled.
2. Stop all downloads and updates.
3. Do you distribute mobile internet via WiFi? Stop the distribution.
What is the average speed of mobile internet in the world?
4G communication allows us an average speed of 20 Mbits/s, but research in different countries for 2019 determined that people actually receive on average 17.6 Mbits/s. However, the actual maximum that 4G is capable of is 375 Mbits/s. Naturally, if you find yourself in an area only covered by the previous generation of 3G networks, your speed will drop to 10 Mbit/s, although even there the upper values can be considerably higher, at 30 Mbit/s.
Which operator is the fastest growing in Russia?
In Russia, Roskomnadzor and a number of independent companies are pushing up the average and maximum speed of mobile Internet.
For three years in a row, Megafon has been the best of these providers, and this is largely due to the largest number of transmitting stations fielded, which ensure that a mobile device using the network is never too far from a transmitting station. Over the past year, the operator has averaged 27.31 Mbps across the country, which is 35% faster than its competitors.
This data is provided by Ookla, a specialized service recognized by mobile operators as a benchmark.
What speed is normal?
Considering that the 4G networks are spreading rapidly, it is normal if the speed is at levels considered average, i.e. 20 Mbps. It's wonderful when speeds are higher, of course. On the other hand, if you are getting speeds far below that average, there are ways in which you can boost the speed of your mobile internet.
7 simple ways to increase speed on your Android smartphone
These methods are suitable for most users and do not require special knowledge.

Alas, applications from Google, Facebook, Instagram, when launched in automatic mode, cause considerable reduction in your connection speed.
There are ways to counter this, using the easy-to-use CCleaner or System App Remover Pro removal software. These are freely available.
Clearing the application cache
Clearing the cache on Android is a simple task. To do this, select "Storage" through the settings menu and find the item "Cache data". After that, you can click on it and remove unnecessary files that may be cluttering up your cache.
What should be considered before doing this?
In case you have a large amount of RAM free, clearing the cache may not provide a dramatic improvements in speed. In such circumstances, you should shut down all unnecessary apps, and leave running only those applications that you require.
Naturally, you can use other programs for clearing the cache, besides the built-in Android application.
Change mobile settings
Check the smartphone settings, and whether the access parameters provided by your operator are set correctly. They are usually set automatically when access is activated, but exceptions are possible. You can check them with each operator on the website or via the respective support service.
In any case, it will be useful to look at them through the "Wireless networks" menu and then in the items "Mobile network", "Access point", "APN". If you are creating a new connection, please provide the correct information.
Using Internet Master Speed Root app
This utility from Nez Droid allows you to overclock the mobile Internet on your Android. The main goal set by the developers is to change a number of system files to optimize the smartphone's settings. This, in turn, leads to considerably higher rates of data transfer. This application compatible with all versions of Android, including the latest models.
By using root (superuser) rights, which will be required on the first start, you will be allowed to make changes to the system. You will have to wait about 15 minutes and then confirm the completion of the operation using "Apply Patch". We reboot the smartphone and look for any improvement. Do not forget that your device must be rooted.
Using the Internet Booster app
Internet Booster is a program that increases the speed of your connection by using rooting. Installation is simple, though it is necessary to mark the necessary items in the main menu.
The appendix contains detailed instructions, including a reference section.
This will only be guaranteed to work if your phone is using superuser rights. In some cases, this application can actually double your internet speed.
Using Internet Speed Meeter Lite App
Internet Speed Meter Lite is an online speedometer. This application helps to calculate all traffic and has control settings if you have a limited bandwidth.
The main feature of the program is the memory feature, which allows you to take into account your entire use of bandwidth for the previous month. In the table, you will see how much was used from your mobile connection, and how much through WiFi.
The application constantly loads the current consumption into the notification line, which helps you to disable your mobile package in time and switch to the home network.
Surfing through the Opera browser
The Opera application is specially designed for the Android platform. It is based on unique algorithms that allow the smartphone to compress 45% - 55% of the received data. You can really see the difference this technology makes when streaming video, videos, or films. And the quality remains perfect.
Data from video hosting, online cinemas, and browser-based social networks, which contain a lot of additionally animated content, are subject to maximum compression. Traffic consumption of the web browser in economy mode will significantly increase the apparent speed. In other words, all animated and video content will now be processed on the fly.
Opera shows immense efficiency when working with "parasites". These are applications that try to take up the internet bandwidth. The browser will let you know about them and show a notification, and then you can easily disable the utilities that interfere with your work. On average, this action increases speed by up to 30%.
Important: When playing streaming audio, you cannot get the same compression quality as with video. This is due to the differing format of the received data.
The application is distributed free of charge. Its key features are the savings on bandwidth, and a very convenient interface.
Two ways to speed up the Internet on Android
In addition to these methods, we can recommend some more interesting solutions. These are suitable for users who understand system management.
Important: If you do not understand the consequences of your actions, do not use the tips below.
Replacing the options root file
If you do not have a root for your smartphone, then you can use the applications Kingo Root, FramaRoot, 360 root, iRoot, Root Genius, Baidu Root or others to get it.
The program should be installed on the computer. You will require a USB cable for this, and a phone. Although in some programs you can work directly on Android.
Important: Remember that by getting root rights, you take responsibility for the device.
There are a great many programs on the internet that will enable you to do this.
Editing the build prop file
This procedure changes the size of TCP buffers, and its result is a change in the speed of the Internet connection. We recommend doing this for mobile networks. Additionally, you can register DNS servers from Google, as they allow you to get faster access to sites using global routing.
net.tcp.buffersize.default = 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi = 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.umts = 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.gprs = 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.edge = 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.rmnet0.dns1 = 8.8.8.8
net.rmnet0.dns2 = 8.8.4.4
net.dns1 = 8.8.8.8
net.dns2 = 8.8.4.4
A simple editor is adequate to modify the file, although it is more pleasant to do this with an application such as BuildPropEditor. As in the previous method, you will need root rights. The file is located at /system/build.prop
The speed of your mobile internet connection now lies in your own hands. Try to choose the best method from those described above or try them all to get the maximum speed on Android devices.
