Ookla rates Airtel as India’s fastest network

MUMBAI: Telecom major Bharti Airtel has been rated as India’s fastest mobile network by Ookla - the global leader in broadband testing and web-based network diagnostic applications.

Ookla’s findings are based on analysis of millions of internet speed tests logged on 'modern devices' by mobile customers across India using its Speedtest app. The results include all mobile tests, regardless of connection technology.

Ajai Puri, director - Operations (India & South Asia) at Bharti Airtel, said, "At Airtel, our constant endeavour is to provide the best possible experience for our customers. We are delighted to receive this recognition from a global leader like Ookla and it is yet another validation of our efforts to build a world-class smartphone network."

Airtel said that the company has been making significant investments towards building a 'future ready' network under Project Leap, its national network transformation initiative.

"We are pleased to acknowledge Airtel as India’s Fastest Mobile Network for 2016. This award recognises Airtel’s commitment to delivering fast speeds and a strong network to their customers across India," added Jamie Steven, COO at Speedtest by Ookla.
