The network of the public sector telecom firm recorded a 3G download speed of 2.6 mbps and an upload speed of 1.2 mbps. In download speed, BSNL was followed by Idea with 2 mbps, Vodafone 1.8 mbps and Airtel with 1.5 mbps.

In upload, all the private sector firm lagged behind BSNL with Vodafone and Idea being the close competitors at 1.1 mbps 3G upload speed. Airtel 3G network recorded an average upload speed of 0.7 mbps, according to the TRAI data.

The average speed is computed by TRAI based on the data it collects across India with the help of its MySpeed application on a real-time basis.
