In fact, the U.S. is not even in the top half of surveyed countries around the world.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="wuRkZMQGUtMjEYwsY6kqMX" name="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wuRkZMQGUtMjEYwsY6kqMX.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wuRkZMQGUtMjEYwsY6kqMX.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><p>Opensignal’s annual “The State of Mobile Video Experience Report” reveals that out of 100 countries, the U.S. ranks 68th in mobile video experience. That ranking comes even as scores from Opensignal’s user tests of Americans’ video experiences increased from 46.7 to 53.8 points. The test is based on an ITU analysis approach considering picture quality, video loading time and stall rate.</p><p>While most commonly done on 4G connectivity, Opensignal did not that more people are streaming on the mobile devices using wireless connections (46%) or mobile networks. On mobile networks, 44% of consumers said they experience stuttering or freezing. About 36% say they sometimes switch to Wi-Fi to better stream video and another 30% say that if they experience issues streaming they give up watching.</p><p>According to Opensignal, 64% of U.S. consumers watch videos under five minutes in length on their mobile devices. However, more are beginning to watch TV programs or movies on their smartphones as well—39% for TV shows, 38% for movies. Those numbers increase when younger consumers are asked; for those of Gen Z it is as high as 55% for movies, while 52% of millennials say they stream TV shows on their smartphones.</p><p>In addition, OTT providers are a popular resource for mobile streaming, with Netflix the most popular (47%), followed by Amazon Prime (38%) and Hulu (25%).</p><p>Opensignal has the <a href="https://www.opensignal.com/">full report available on its website</a>.</p>

                                <p>OpenSignal, a U.K.-based researcher that measures video networking performance, has <a href="https://bgr.com/2018/10/18/which-carrier-best-video-quality-verizon-att/">released</a> a new report that cites Verizon as having the best mobile video streaming experience among the four major U.S. telcos, narrowly beating out T-Mobile, with Sprint following and AT&T at #4.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="fvTdmcJXLuwk2znsaG7D9" name="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fvTdmcJXLuwk2znsaG7D9.png" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fvTdmcJXLuwk2znsaG7D9.png" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><p>Out of a possible score of 100, all of the carriers rated “fair,” which means that they couldn’t handle high-resolution video without some hiccups, but were able to handle standard definition video with few problems.</p><p>The report notes that each carrier is placing increasing emphasis on video. AT&T’s recent acquisition of Time Warner was done partly with the goal of launching its own streaming service based around  its flagship network HBO next year. Likewise, Verizon, with its recent content acquisitions of AOL and Yahoo, as well as Sprint’s bundling of the Hulu OTT network and T-Mobile’s complementary Netflix subscriptions to new subscribers all illustrate the importance U.S. telcos are placing on streaming video.</p><p>Last month, OpenSignal reported that all four telcos support mobile streaming rates of an average 14 Mbps, with Verizon and T-Mobile both offering up to 20 Mpbs streaming, which is enough to support ultra high definition resolution. </p>
