More and more people are accessing the internet on mobile devices.

Thanks to improved speeds and affordable data plans, smartphones have replaced laptops as the most widely used device for accessing the internet.

According to a Quartz report, the percentage of households accessing the internet at home entirely via mobile networks doubled between 2013 and 2015.In July 2015, a survey by the U.S. Communications and Information Administration of 53,000 households found that 20% of them only used mobile internet.In other words, more and more people are considering mobile online access as their primary means of connection.

With the development of LTE networks and high-speed data packages, accessing the internet on mobile devices has become increasingly easy and provides a better experience. While it varies by location, most mobile internet services in the US offer speeds faster than wired broadband, according to Mashable.

In fact, today's mobile internet access can adequately meet the needs for watching movies online, streaming videos, listening to music, and much more. According to the 2015 bandwidth report,The U.S. Federal Communications Commission says that 60% of internet traffic is for watching videos.

Ten years ago, people typically opened laptops or desktop computers to access the internet. Today, a simple swipe on a smartphone fulfills these needs. Smartphones have replaced laptops as the most widely used device for accessing the internet.

However, the report ofThe U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) believes that for most households, wired broadband internet remains the preferred choice for internet access. It addresses the price-to-performance ratio and meets the needs of multiple family members.

However, with the shift towards mobile internet, if telecommunications companies continue to upgrade quality and lower prices in the future, the number of people accessing the internet from handheld devices will increase even further.
