A Nielsen survey on 4G wireless trends suggests teenagers are leading the transition from 3G to 4G technology. The report notes that 63 percent of teenagers under 18 report interest in switching from a 3G to a 4G device by the end of the year.
The report adds that 4G usage has risen from 1.4 percent to 7.6 percent of American wireless consumers since 2011.
“Consumers under the age of 34 are the mostly likely to have switched from 3G to the faster 4G network and consumers that have adopted 4G are five times more likely to consider dumping a high-speed Internet subscription with a cable company in favor of 4G hardware as a replacement,” reports Digital Trends.
The report also notes that only 46 percent of respondents reported satisfaction with the 4G device’s battery life. “Many people stated that they would attempt to preserve battery life by switching between 3G and 4G service during the day,” explains the post.
However, while people report satisfaction with their 4G devices, less than ten percent of 4G owners cited the 4G connection as the most important factor in the purchase.
