In the consumer smartphone market, lower latency seems to correlate with higher usage of bandwidth, according to analyst Chetan Sharma. Basically, each succeeding generation of mobile technology (second generation to fourth generation) shows lower latency and higher available bandwidth, as well as higher end user data consumption, with the biggest step change coming in the transition from 3G HSPA to 4G LTE.
As a rule, says Sharma, a four-fold improvement in overall performance leads to better user experience and if the pricing is right will have a two times impact on consumption with the introduction of each new network technology.
Those findings make intuitive sense. Broadband has become so popular in part because the latency is so much lower, compared to dial-up services.
