In TRAI's drive test on the New Tinsukia to Guwahati railway route, which operator recorded the highest average download speed?
- A.Airtel
- B.BSNL
- C.RJIL
- D.VIL
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is RJIL. On this railway stretch in the Assam Licensed Service Area the regulator measured an average download speed of 110.82 Mbps for RJIL, the highest of the four operators tested. Option A is wrong because Airtel averaged 42.71 Mbps on download, although it did lead on upload with 11.75 Mbps. Option D is wrong because VIL averaged 15.69 Mbps on download and 5.46 Mbps on upload. Option B is wrong because BSNL was the slowest at about 5 Mbps on download and 3.25 Mbps on upload. Candidates should remember that the download leader and the upload leader on this route were different operators, and that the test was run with live calls and data sessions on all networks.
