According to data released in the second quarter of 2026, 80.2% of mobile accesses in Portugal were used simultaneously for voice services and web browsing, representing a growing trend of integration between traditional communications and digital platforms.
More than half of mobile Internet users in Portugal were already using 5G technology, which constitutes a significant milestone in the evolution of telecommunications in the country. This technology provides faster Internet speeds and greater connection capacity, allowing more devices to be online at the same time.
Experts point out that the growing penetration of 5G is driving the use of data-intensive applications, such as video streaming, online gaming and cloud computing services. The expansion of 5G infrastructure across the national territory and the increase in the offer of compatible devices have contributed to this rapid adoption.
It is expected that the use of mobile Internet in various areas, such as education, health and commerce, will continue to grow, promoting innovation and facilitating access to information. The future of telecommunications in Portugal looks promising, with the population increasingly integrating new technologies into their daily routines.
