Which group of users is especially sensitive to retransmission issues?

Consumers using mobile devices in poor coverage areas are particularly sensitive to retransmission issues because mobile networks often experience fluctuating signal strength and connectivity challenges. When users are in areas with weak signal, the likelihood of packet loss increases. This results in data needing to be retransmitted, which can significantly delay content delivery and impact the overall user experience.

The limitations of mobile technology, such as lower bandwidth and higher latency in poor coverage areas, exacerbate the effects of retransmission issues. Users depend on a reliable connection for activities like streaming, browsing, or communicating, and interruptions or delays caused by retransmissions can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. Therefore, ensuring a smooth experience for these users requires attention to retransmission and connectivity issues.
