NEW DELHI: Idea Cellular today said it achieved the highest 4G upload speed in September citing data compiled by telecom regulator Trai’s MySpeed app.
Idea Cellular topped the chart in terms of average 4G upload speed for September at 6.307 mbps, the private telecom player said in a statement reeling off the Trai data.
It reported an average download speed of 8.74 mbps (megabits per second) during the same month.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) MySpeed app tabulates mobile data speed of various operators.

According to the data available on the Trai site, Idea took the pole position in 4G upload speed, followed by Vodafone, Reliance Jio and Airtel. In terms of 4G download speed, Idea ranked third, after Jio and Vodafone, the Trai data showed. (AGENCIES)
