Chennai city has added one more feather to its cap now. It is now said that this Chennai has got the fastest fixed broadband speed when compared to other cities in India. Sensational isnt it!!

According to the reports from Ookla, an internet testing and analysis organisation, it is now clear Chennai is ranked first among top 20 cities in terms of fastest fixed broadband speed.

It is interesting to mention that Chennai download speed of 32.67 mbps or megabits per second for fixed broadband is 57.7 percent faster than national average of 20.2 mbps.

Consumer- run tests conducted by Ookla have shown Chennai city is on the top now and it was based on February 2018 data. Mr Rahul Ramaswamy a HR professional expressed his thoughts and said he faced issues regarding internet speeds and downloading in other cities but in Chennai city the internet speeds were high.

It is now confirmed by the Ookla that Bengaluru had average download speed of 31.09 mbps and is next to Chennai. It is surprising to note that Mumbai ranks eighth with average download speed of 17. 10 mbps and Delhi is fifth with average speeds of 23.57 mbps.

It is worthy to mention here that at a per user level Chennai city has 10 percent higher data consumption than Bengaluru city. As a result to cater the demands companies are offering high speeds on internet in Chennai. This is now confirmed by ACT broadband.

Higher data demand in Chennai when compared to Bengaluru is the reason behind higher internet speeds up to 200 mbps in Chennai.  In Bengaluru internet speeds go up to 100 mbps. This was later confirmed by an official belonging to the popular Hathway    

One important piece of information is the state of Karnataka offers a mean download speed of 28.46 mbps and is ranked first. The state of Tamil Nadu offers download speeds of 27.94 mbps and is ranked second.
