Which operator recorded the highest average download speed in the Kolkata area drive test?
- A.Airtel
- B.BSNL
- C.RJIL
- D.VIL
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is RJIL, which averaged 297.95 Mbps on its 5G and 4G networks in parts of Kolkata city and the Howrah and Hooghly districts. Option A, Airtel, came second with 255.13 Mbps, although Airtel did lead on uploads in the same test at 45.64 Mbps against 38.63 Mbps for RJIL. Option D, VIL, averaged 49.06 Mbps for downloads, and option B, BSNL, was the slowest at 7.98 Mbps. The voice results followed a similar pattern: RJIL lost no call out of the calls it established on the route, Airtel dropped one, VIL two and BSNL fifteen, and the coverage gaps were widest for BSNL. In the separate island test RJIL again led the download average, this time at 77.61 Mbps, ahead of Airtel at 67.06 Mbps.
