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.
maybe we’re better at making toilet stores.. :p
