Drop call rates stood at 0 per cent for Jio, 1.18 per cent for Airtel, 0.83 per cent for Vodafone Idea, and 3.04 per cent for BSNL.

For data services, Jio recorded the highest average download speed of 219.13 Mbps and an upload speed of 15.73 Mbps, followed by Airtel at 141.87 Mbps download and 27.26 Mbps upload. Vodafone Idea achieved 22.68 Mbps download and 6.71 Mbps upload, while BSNL registered 1.69 Mbps download and 3.70 Mbps upload.

Latency tests showed Jio leading with the lowest 50th percentile latency of 20.55 ms, followed by Airtel (27.00 ms), Vodafone Idea (48.85 ms), and BSNL (54.00 ms).

The IDT also covered key institutions such as Assam University, NIT Silchar, Cachar College, and Silchar Medical College, along with major railway stations in Hailakandi, Karimganj, and Silchar.

According to TRAI, the findings have been shared with all telecom service providers to support continued improvement in network performance and user experience across the region.
