Banglalink 'fastest mobile internet network' in Bangladesh

Banglalink has earned the top spot on the latest Ookla Speedtest Award report for Bangladesh during Q1-Q2 2021 with a speed score of 17.12

Banglalink has been declared as the fastest mobile network in the country by Ookla for the third consecutive time.

It has earned the top spot on the latest Ookla Speedtest Award report for Bangladesh during Q1-Q2 2021 with a speed score of 17.12, said a press release.

With millions of results obtained through the Ookla Speedtest app each day, Ookla has the most accurate and comprehensive view of worldwide network performance, quality, and accessibility.

As part of Banglalink’s objective to offer superior digital experiences to customers, Banglalink has acquired a total of 9.4 MHz spectrum during the last BTRC spectrum auction, and retained the top position among all private operators in the country in terms of spectrum per subscriber.

The newly acquired spectrum, coupled with Banglalink's dual-carrier network, contributed to it being the country’s fastest mobile network.

"Winning this esteemed award for the third consecutive time is a great accomplishment for us. It is indicative of the consistency with which we have been providing super-fast 4G internet over a long period of time," said Upanga Dutta, chief commercial officer, Banglalink.

"With a view to enabling more customers to benefit from the digital ecosystem, we will do our best to continue to provide fastest mobile internet at affordable cost," he added.

Speedtest Awards, presented by Ookla, are reserved for an elite delegation of network operators that have delivered exceptional internet performance and coverage within a market, said Doug Suttles, CEO of Ookla.

This recognition is testament to their exceptional performance in Q1-Q2 2021 based on Ookla's rigorous analysis of consumer-initiated tests taken with Speedtest, he added.
