This statistic illustrates the preferences of the Italian population concerning mobile Internet connection in 2016. According to the study results, one in two respondents (52 percent) preferred a 3G or 4G connection over a Wi-Fi one. This trend represents an anomaly compared to other European countries, where people generally prefer using a Wi-Fi connection rather than a 3G or 4G one to go online with their smartphones.
