BSNLusers are apparently more satisfied with their wireless service provider than the subscribers of other network operators in the country. That’s according to new data released by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), which suggests that the State-owned telecom company offers the best voice call quality among all cellular service providers in India.
WhileJioand Vodafone tied at number two,Airteland Idea brought up the final two spots, respectively. Do note that in spite of theVodafone – Idea mergerearlier this year, the report makes a distinction between the two, ranking the former a couple of slots ahead of the latter.
Reliance Jio and Vodafone are tied with a rating of 3.3, although, Jio has a much larger sample size of 10,292 compared to Vodafone’s 3,408. Airtel was rated at 3.0 with 9,520 samples, while Idea finished with a lowly 2.9 with just 977 submissions.
While indoor call quality ratings are largely similar for all five operators, BSNL scored big for outdoor reception, especially while traveling. Which is to be expected, given that the company has a vast network even in the remotest of areas around the country. You can check out thefull reporton the official TRAI website.
