Mobile Data Speed Test

Test 4G/5G mobile data. Identifies if you're tower-limited, band-limited, or FUP-throttled.

Mobile data speed isn't just about the plan — your speed depends on signal strength (RSRP), tower load, the band you're connected to, and FUP throttling. This test measures the actual speed AND tells you which of those factors is limiting you.

Works on all Indian carriers: Jio, Airtel, Vi (Vodafone Idea), BSNL.

What this measures

  • 4G/5G download + upload speed
  • Carrier and network type (4G, 5G NSA, 5G SA)
  • Comparison vs typical for your area + carrier

How it works

  1. Confirm cellular (not Wi-Fi)
  2. Detect carrier + bearer
  3. Sustained speed test with mobile-tuned payload
  4. Verdict + likely cause

Why this matters

Mobile speed varies hugely. A 100 Mbps Jio 5G in good signal can drop to 5 Mbps in your bedroom — that's signal, not the plan.

Top fixes

  • Low speed + low signal: move to window/balcony
  • Low speed + good signal: FUP throttled — check daily limit
  • 5G slower than 4G: weak 5G fallback — toggle to 4G-only

FAQs

Why is my 5G slower than 4G?

Common in early 5G rollouts: weak 5G signal triggers fallback, but with handover overhead. If consistent, set phone to 4G-only mode.

What is FUP throttling?

Fair Use Policy — after your daily/monthly cap, speed drops to 64 Kbps-1 Mbps regardless of plan. Check your plan's FUP limit.
