'We've seen a dramatic rise in travelers' data traffic, as expected after the EU introduced new roaming regulation on June 15,' says Thomas Moe, Head of Roaming at Telia. 'Still, the user experience for Telia customers travelling from all our countries have remained intact throughout this huge change.'
The biggest roaming increase is found in travelers' mobile data traffic, which has multiplied several times over. But the rise in roaming voice traffic is also significant.
'Additionally, we're seeing that a lot of Americans and Germans are visiting Sweden and getting connected at the moment, which further increases the traffic in our networks. We've been able to maintain capacity for them too,' Moe says.
When it comes to free-roaming Swedish holiday-makers, Spain remains the most popular country. Italy is a far away second, and Greece is the third most popular destination.
'Poland was a bit of a surprise to us,' says Moe. 'When we look at roaming traffic, Poland is now a more popular destination that Great Britain.'
