Recent Quality of Service Experience (QoSE) tests carried out by LIRNEasia show that BSNL’s 256Kbps package (offered in Chennai) delivers more than promised in download speeds when compared to a 512Kbps package offered by the same operator in Bangalore. It also performs better in comparison to similar offerings by Airtel and MTNL in Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai, including 512 Kbps and 2Mbps packages.
Although most Indian packages we tested offer better value for money than similar offerings in neighboring Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Bhutan, there are significant quality differences among the eight Indian packages that were subject to this year’s QoSE testing. The majority of the packages tested within India failed to deliver even 80% of the advertised speeds, with Airtel’s 2Mbps package (tested in Mumbai) coming in last, being able to deliver a mere 20% of what was advertised.
