TRAI continues to measure the upload and download speeds of Idea and Vodafone separately even though both of them merged since their networks are yet to be completely integrated. TRAI’s data has been computed on the basis of data samples collected from various consumers of the TSPs on a crowd sourcing basis during speed test initiated by them and background speed tests initiated by MySpeed app over the last month.
