According to Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index, India slipped three places in the global mobile median speed rankings as it showed improved performance on fixed broadband metrics.
According to Ookla, in June 2022, India recorded median mobile download speeds of 14 Mbps, which was a little lower than the 14.28 Mbps recorded in May 2022.
“This decrease in download speeds moved the country to 118th position in June from 115th in May 2022,” Ookla said in a statement.
