Willingness to switch to 5G in Mexico 2019-2020

When asked about their willingness to use 5G networks, 16 percent of mobile phone and smartphone users surveyed in Mexico in 2020 said they would make the switch if they heard something good about the technology, a drop compared to the previous year when 29 percent of respondents gave this answer. On the other hand, compared to 2019, when no Mexicans polled reported having access to 5G, in 2020 seven percent of respondents said they already had access to this network.

Among the reasons behind the skepticism of some Mexicans in making use of this new technology would be the belief of health risks involved, with almost a quarter of those surveyed believing in this potential impact.
