Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Post 5G Launch
This report summarizes the main KPIs in the telecommunications sector following the launch of 5G, based on data from the National Telecommunications Institute (INT) up to November 2025. Beyond the growth of the user base, the analysis of average consumption per subscriber reveals a profound transformation of habits. This indicator is essential as it illustrates how the superior capabilities of 5G have enabled users to intensify their usage.
- February 2025: 175 GB per subscriber
- November 2025: 338 GB per subscriber
This evolution represents a growth of +93% in consumption per user. A peak in consumption was reached in July (390 GB/Subscriber), potentially coinciding with vacation periods or seasonal events, before stabilizing at a high and constant level above 330 GB/Subscriber for the rest of the year. This substantial increase in consumption per user attests to the adoption of new digital behaviors, made possible by the performance of the 5G network. The synergy between these three trends — a user base multiplied by 18, each consuming nearly twice as much data — is what generated the exponential increase of 7113% in network traffic, demonstrating a powerful and cumulative return on 5G investment. In fact, the three strategic lessons from this report are:
- Robust Financial Recovery: 5G has enabled the reversal of a declining financial trend, transforming it into double-digit growth, confirming its role as a revenue driver. 5G has proven to be the decisive catalyst for this dynamic.
- Phenomenal Success of FWA: The FWA service has been the main beneficiary of the 5G launch, with an explosive growth in its subscriber base. This massive adoption demonstrates the existence of a strong market demand for high-speed, flexible, and performant internet access solutions.
- Intensification of Usage: The intensification of usage, with FWA subscriber consumption approaching 340 GB, reveals a market appetite for high-speed internet that exceeds forecasts and paves the way for the monetization of premium services.
