significantly less data traffic: EM final did not make the Vodafone mobile phone network glow

The European Championship final between Spain and England had less influence on data traffic in the Vodafone mobile network than the quarter-finals from the German national team. Although more data was easily transmitted during the final than on an ordinary Sunday, the decline was clearly noticeable compared to the quarter -finals. From 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., a total of 1,170 terabytes were transmitted via the Vodafone mobile phone network, which is around 30 percent less than in the quarter -finals of Germany against Spain. Above all, the not -given marketer ensured a new data record in mobile communications.

During the entire European Championship, more data was transmitted in the Vodafone network than on regular days. A total of almost 270,000 terabytes were transmitted. The European Championship led to new data and streaming records in mobile communications. The football fans have never taken to the cell phone at an international tournament as often as at this home European Championship. The reason for this was that many fans were traveling when the games started and therefore streamed with their cell phones. In addition, the game -decisive scenes were increasingly discussed on social media. The highlight was the not given penalty when the German team left. However, the data was noticeably decreased when Germany left, as Marc Albers, private customer boss of Vodafone, found.

A Vodafone analysis also shows that the English fans were not only in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, but also relied on their smartphones more often during the final than the Spanish fans who were in the stadium.
