The report revealed 4G availability in the top 50 Indian cities. There is no possibility of staying in third place, the report is Srinagar, which is one of the remote towns in India, which is situated in the mountain pass of Jammu and Kashmir.

At the fourth place, we have Raipur, which scored 94.8% in the measurement of OpenSignal, followed by 94.5% in Patna. OpenCignal said, "Patna had achieved 4G availability almost 4 years ago, compared to the 20 largest cities in India, and at that time its score was increased by 2 percent."

Saying that there are no popular cities in the top 10. Delhi and Mumbai, behind the 90.5% of Hyderabad, with the shame of only 90%, the points are at the bottom of the table. Bengaluru, also known as the Garden City of India, is present in the mid-table with 92.3% coverage, while Ahmedabad scored 92.7%. Yet, in all 50 Indian cities, OpenGuigal was measured more than 87% of the 4G availability - an achievement that would boast of many more developed mobile markets, the Matrix Agency said.

Telecos Rapping Up 4G Coverage in India

Right now, the goal of the top three telescopes is to provide better 4G coverage across the country and be ahead of others. In the most recent India Mobile Network Experience Report of OpenSignell, the new entrance Jio's national 4G availability score was 96.7% - which is 20 percent more than its main competitors Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea. Being a Jio, LTE-only operator, there are many benefits on other telecoms, which are the GSM operators in the country.

Back in 2016, Jio shocked the mobile world with its free data offerings and surprised more than 100 million customers in just six months. However, rival operators Airtel and Vodafone Idea reacted to such interruption of Jio and started investing to expand 4G network coverage.

However, in terms of speed, India is far behind other countries, because OpenSignal has recently disclosed in its report.
