The share of users’ measurements connecting to Rakuten’s own radio network is now almost half — 48.3% in December — up from 39.2% in September. Plus, we continue to see users enjoying faster speeds when connected to the new Rakuten network, especially for upload speeds that are useful for sharing photos, videos and other large files.
We analyzed 15 cities across Japan, and compared the results in December with three months earlier in September to understand how quickly Rakuten is expanding the reach of its network. This is important because our users see much faster speeds as Rakuten’s reach improves.
