With COVID-19 taking over our lives and forcing us to work from home, we¡¯ve all realised how important the internet is for our lives, and by extension, the speed of the internet that we get.?
While many use Wi-Fi connections that offer decent internet speeds, some are stuck to using phone data which rarely is as reliable. And in case you were wondering which telecom service provider should you consider subscribing to, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India might have made things simple for you.
TRAI has announced the average data speeds that consumers have gotten across the nation and discovered that as of now, Reliance Jio has topped the chart of the fastest internet speed offering a data download rate of 20.8 megabits per second. However, it was last in terms of upload speeds, offering roughly around 3.7 megabits per second.?
The second spot in this list was claimed by Vodafone India, maxing out at 9.8 megabits per second download speed in the month of November. It also recorded 6.5 megabits per second upload speed which is the highest by any mobile telecom company in India as of now.?
In case you didn¡¯t know, even with Vodafone and Idea merging together and forming Vi, TRAI is looking at separate network speed data of both the entities.?
Next on the list is Idea offering a download speed of 8.8 megabits per second and upload speeds of 5.8 megabits per second.?
Bharti Airtel claimed the third spot offering a download speed of 8.0 megabits per second download speeds and 4 megabits per second upload speeds.?
Earlier this month, TRAI revealed that Vodafone Idea offered better call quality, compared to others -- Idea received a rating of 4.9 out of 5, whereas Vodafone sat at 4.6 out of 5. BSNL was third at 4.1 out of 5. Airtel and Jio both have received a rating of 3.8 out of 5.
