BTRC has made the report after conducting a comprehensive Qualitv of Service measurement through drive test in different locations of Dhaka North and South City Corporation area from 23 January to 08 February, 2O21.

For the drive, regulatory commission's taskforce made testing 3,293 samples calls in Grameenphone network, 3244 in robi network and 3237 in Banglalink network.

BTRC conducted the dive test in 1,121 km of areas of Uttora, Mirpur, Gulshan, Dhanmondhi, Khilgaon and Jatrabari.

However, the nationwide – telecommunication service quality report will be found after June as the drive is still continues in other areas of the country.

Meanwhile, BTRC's spoke person and Deputy Director Zakir Hossain Khan told The Business Standard that the commission has initiated the drive to ensure expected telecommunication service.

"The commission will take necessary action against the operators if they are found providing poor service," he added.

Currently, there are a total of 17.33 crore mobile subscribers in the country. Of which 8.3crore users registered with Grameenphone network while Robi Axiata Limited, Banglalink Digital Communications and Teletalk Bangladesh Ltd received 5.15 crore, 3.59 crore and 0.55 crore users respectively.
