"Idea Cellular topped the chart in average upload 4G speed for the month of May'17 with an upload speed of 8.45 Mbps, as per the TRAI data. Idea reported a high average download speed of 13.7 Mbps for the same period," the company said.

According to Sashi Shankar, Chief Marketing Officer, Idea Cellular, "This is a strong testament to our continued focus on investing in mobile broadband infrastructure across the country."

 

He said, "TRAI's MySpeed result is an affirmation of the fact that Idea customers are hooked on to the internet - browsing rich content such as video download, music, gaming, live streaming etc. - as narrated in our ad campaign 'Idea 4G pe India hua Hook #LookLook'. The campaign establishes the width and expanse of Idea 4G network across India, through a simple thought, 'Idea 4G - India jitna bada network."
