A Nation on the Move, Literally and Digitally
Ofcom’s most recent data shows what many of us already feel: mobile connectivity is now the backbone of British business and daily life. With more devices, more apps, and more remote work, the UK’s data usage continues to rise — fast.
Here’s what the 2025 report reveals, and what it means for telecom providers, resellers, and their customers.
Key Takeaways from the Report
- Mobile data consumption increased by over 25% YoY
Businesses are relying more heavily on mobile broadband, especially in remote work and field-based roles.
- Landline use continues to drop
With fewer than 20% of UK households relying on landlines for calls, it’s clear that VoIP and mobile-first setups are the new standard.
- 5G rollout is accelerating
Coverage has expanded to over 80% of populated areas, pushing adoption of data-heavy services and IoT solutions.
- eSIM and dual-SIM usage is growing
Consumers and SMEs alike are embracing device flexibility, driving demand for SIM-Only Deals and Mobile Device Management.
What This Means for Your Business
Whether you’re running an SME or working as a telecom reseller, the shift to mobile-first comms is an opportunity, but only if your offering keeps up.
- VoIP and Business Phone Systems must be mobile-integrated
- Broadband and SD-WAN Solutions must support roaming teams
- IoT and Advanced Threat Security need to be part of the toolkit
