The best mobile video experience in the U.S. happens in a cluster in the northeast, according to OpenSignal.
That cluster includes the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia, with D.C. topping the others just slightly in OpenSignal’s metric. New Jersey is the leading state for good mobile video, by OpenSignal’s reckoning.
The benchmarking company, which relies on crowd-sourced data from millions of end-user devices, launched its new mobile video metric in September to provide greater insight into video traffic — which is an increasingly important part of the customer experience. Video is expected to make up more than 75% of global mobile data traffic by 2020, according to Cisco, and users are watching more long-form videos on their mobile devices, rather than brief clips.
