Which operator recorded the highest average download speed on the Adoni-Mantralayam route?
- A.Airtel
- B.BSNL
- C.Reliance Jio
- D.Vodafone Idea
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Reliance Jio, whose average download speed on that route was 209.11 Mbps. Option A is wrong because Airtel came second with 118.55 Mbps, although its upload speed of 18.73 Mbps was the best of the four. Option B is wrong because BSNL, tested on its 3G network, averaged 10.19 Mbps for download, the slowest on the stretch. Option D is wrong because Vodafone Idea recorded 12.27 Mbps for download. The same operator also led in Hyderabad with 145.79 Mbps against 82.88 Mbps for Airtel and 41.41 Mbps for Vodafone Idea. Note that download and upload rankings need not match, which is the kind of detail a question is built around, so a candidate should read the exact parameter named in the question before choosing an operator.
