  • Seems like the countries which have launched 5g have improved their ranking. I remember Pakistan was above India before they had launched 5g. In terms of average wireless broadband speeds. Well, I think by the end of 2025 we’ll improve significantly in terms of wireless average speed rankings. If 5g Auction is actually held in April 2025

  • Average mobile internet speed in villages from 6 to 8 pm is around 4 mb with upload 500 kb. During this time even video call doesn’t work.

  • This is not something that we couldn’t achieve. I fact it is by choice to remain at tail. How much wiser the rulers are?
