Measured performance
Internet connectivity
How fast the internet actually is in each district — from speed tests people ran themselves, aggregated to Q2 2026 and cut against district boundaries. These are measurements, not coverage maps and not advertised speeds.

How to read this
- A speed test happens when someone chooses to run one — often because they suspect a problem, or because they just joined good wifi. Neither is a random sample of the district. The figures compare fairly between districts, because the same habit applies in each; they are not “the speed in this district”.
- Districts with few tests are marked thin. Dehradun’s fixed figure rests on thousands of tests; the smallest hill districts on a few hundred.
- Nothing here says whether a village has coverage at all. That needs a different source, and we do not have one yet.
Being compiled
Fibre readiness under BharatNet — how many gram panchayats in each district have a working fibre connection — is published by the Department of Telecommunications and is not loaded yet. Mobile tower coverage by operator is also missing: the open databases for it are crowdsourced, which would undercount exactly the remote districts this portal exists to serve, so we would rather show nothing than something misleading.
