In order to reach the Global Rising Stars status, a mobile operator must meet relevant criterias in download speed and upload experience, video experience and 4G availability.
โTo be one of the top 30 operators in the world for year-on-year percentage improvement in just one metric requires a tremendous effort, but to do so across a few borders on the herculean,โ Opensignal stated.
In addition, two other mobile operators from the country : Airtel and Mobitel were ranked among worldโs top 30 โmost improvedโ mobile operators in terms of video experience and 4G availability, respectively.
