Download speed 10 Mbps in Banglalink, outperforming GP

Banglalink is providing the fastest download speed – 10 Mbps on average – to subscribers, outperforming the country’s leading telecom operator Grameenphone, which provides up to 8.8 Mbps.

Opensignal, a UK-based independent global standard for analysing consumer mobile experience, revealed these findings in their Mobile Network Experience Report 2022, compiled by collecting customers’ experience from April 1 to June 29 this year.

Banglalink came out on top in the download speed metric in this report, followed by Grameenphone. Robi and TeleTalk are in third and fourth place, with scores of 6.8 Mbps and 4.4 Mbps respectively.

However, Grameenphone wins the “Upload Speed Experience” award with a score of 4.1 Mbps, giving it a lead of 0.7 Mbps over second place holder Banglalink’s 3.4 Mbps.

Robi is in third place with 2.7 Mbps, while TeleTalk is further behind with a score of 1.4 Mbps.

According to the report, the telecom operator’s users also had the best available experience when playing multiplayer mobile games or using over the top voice apps over cellular connections on Banglalink’s network.

So, this operator won both the “Games Experience” and “Voice App Experience” awards.

It wins the former with a score of 37.5 points on a 100 point scale and comes on top for Voice App Experience with 66.1 points – a lead of 2.4 points over Grameenphone.

Grameenphone won both the “Excellent Consistent Quality” and “Core Consistency” awards.

This means that it was on Grameenphone’s network that the highest proportion of users’ tests met the minimum recommended performance thresholds for demanding applications (Excellent Consistent Quality) such as completing group video calls, as well as the thresholds for less demanding applications (Core Consistent Quality) like web browsing.

Grameenphone is the winner of the “4G Coverage Experience” award, given its score of 7.3 point on a 10 point scale, which gives it a lead of 0.6 points over second place holder Robi’s 6.7 points.

Grameenphone has again narrowly scooped up the most awards, winning four outright – Upload Speed Experience, 4G Coverage Experience, Excellent Consistent Quality and Core Consistent Quality.

Meanwhile, Ba-nglalink wins or ties for first place across all three experiential categories, winning “Games Experience” and “Voice App Experience.” It also comes top for Download Speed Experience.

Neither Robi nor TeleTalk managed to win any awards, but Robi is part of the three way ties for “Availability” and “4G Availability.”
