Telecom Regulatory Authority of India collects and calculates data download speed through its app ‘MySpeed’, which was launched at the end of last year. It helps the regulatory body of India to monitor and publish data speed of the network on a monthly basis, provided the ‘MySpeed’ app is installed in users’ phones.
This application enables you to measure data speed experience and sends the outcomes to TRAI. The application represents and sends the result, data speed and other information along with the device and location.
The application does not send any individual client data. All outcomes are accounted for anonymously. While this application gives TRAI details of your internet experience, it does not form any complaint. In the event of a poor experience, clients are requested to register an objection with their service providers.
