Banglalink clinches Ookla Speedtest Award four times straight

Banglalink has won Ookla's recognition as the fastest mobile network in the country for the fourth consecutive time.

The mobile phone operator remains in pole position with a speed score of 20.04 on the recently published Ookla Speedtest Award report for the third and fourth quarters of 2021, a press release said.

Its median download was 13.77 mbps, while the median upload speed was 7.54 mbps.

Ookla, the global leader in internet testing and analysis, gives the most accurate and comprehensive view of worldwide network performance, quality, and accessibility based on millions of results obtained through the Ookla Speedtest app each day.

Banglalink has managed to raise its performance bar significantly in recent times, providing super-fast 4G internet and high-quality digital services.

A total of 9.4 MHz new spectrum purchased by Banglalink last year contributed to winning this award by further enhancing the operator's network quality.

This year Banglalink is set to install around 3,000 base transceiver stations (BTS) across the country with an objective to gain double-digit growth.

 "We want to keep this momentum going and expand our network for enabling more customers to benefit from our fastest mobile internet," said Upanga Dutta, chief commercial officer of Banglalink.

"Speedtest awards are given to the best-performing mobile operators for their superior network speed and coverage," said Doug Suttles, chief executive officer of Ookla.

"According to the consumer-initiated tests taken with Speedtest, Banglalink's overall network performance was the best in Bangladesh in Q3-Q4 last year," he added.
