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

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

The percentage of households with entirely mobile internet access at home doubled between 2013 and 2015, Quartz reports.In July 2015, a survey by the US Telecommunications and Information Administration of 53,000 households showed that 20% of them only used mobile internet.In other words, more and more people are using mobile as their primary connection.

With the development of LTE networks and high-speed data plans, mobile internet access is becoming easier and more convenient. Depending on the location, most mobile internet services in the US offer faster speeds than wired broadband, Mashable said.

In fact, mobile internet access today can meet the needs of watching movies online, streaming videos, listening to music and more. In the 2015 bandwidth report,The US Federal Communications Commission says 60% of all internet traffic is for watching videos.

Ten years ago, people used to open their laptops or desktops to access the Internet. Today, just a swipe of a finger on a smartphone can meet all their needs. Smartphones have replaced laptops as the most used devices to access the Internet.

However, the report ofThe U.S. Telecommunications and Information Administration says that for most households, wired broadband remains the preferred choice for accessing the Internet. It solves the problem of price versus performance, meeting the needs of multiple members of the household.

But with the trend of shifting to mobile Internet, if in the future telecommunications companies continue to upgrade quality and lower prices, the number of people accessing the Internet from handheld devices will increase.
