The report has looked into various parameters to rank the carriers. One parameter considered is the performance in terms of speed while downloading media; second is the performance variability between the fastest and the average user; third is the quality of network in terms of network response time; and fourth is the LTE coverage as measured by the likelihood that an LTE user will access an LTE network when using an app.

Top Carriers in Terms of Performance

In the analysis, Airtel topped the ranking in performance across 2G, 3G, HSPA, and LTE showing the highest quality network. Reliance Jio reported a slightly slower performance than Airtel but provides a uniform experience to its users with its consistency. Reliance Jio also ranked first in the coverage metric, which is somewhat expected given that it is a 4G/LTE only network.

“In LTE, Airtel is 1st (15% faster than Tata Docomo) followed by Aircel and Reliance in 3rd and 4th, and BSNL and JIO in 5th and 6th. To put this performance ranking into perspective, it would take on average 222ms to download a 40KB image on LTE over Airtel,” pointed out the report.
