Dhiraagu and Wataniya 3G speed test

 

Here is a speed test I did on Dhiraagu and Wataniya 3G. I selected a Hong Kong server for this test from both phones. Dhiraagu 3G seems much faster. To make sure I ran this test three times and got similar results.

Try any other location. specially US or Africa as I understand Dhiraagu is connected to HK POP and Wataniya connected to London POP. If you could do a trace to the server from both links you will easily figure it out.

Dean,
if you look closely you will see Wataniya has lower latency to the speedtest server which is 395ms while Dhiraagu test shows 549ms. So your argument that Dhiraagu is better connected to this particular speed test server is void. I am assuming that the problem is either ROL has bandwidth issues or Wataniya has bandwidth issues on the air interface.

@Dean: U seem to have defeated ur own argument when u say that Wataniya has lower latency but they cud also be having bandwidth issues, which ultimately means they cannot manage their service level to the end customers.

Got it cleared. Thanks @Dean. The Wataniya Mobile internet and Mobile Broadband has different max speeds and Dhiraagu has same speed for both. And I did this test on Wataniya Mobile Internet *Not Broadband*.
So I will test the speed from a Wataniya Broadband connection enabled sim and post it here.
