Ncell 4G speed
The maximum speed of Ncell 4G is around 34 Mbps downlink and 15 Mbps uplink. As the 4G LTE speed depends on the 4G signal received by the handset and the period of usage ( meaning no of users that are currently using Ncell 4G in the same tower), 4G speed always come below the maximum. In average, you can get download speed of 10 to 15 Mbps and upload of 5 to 7 Mbps.
If you are in those cities, please send us your experience with Ncell 4G. Do send us a snapshot of the 4G speed test through your phone. We will be more than happy to share the speed test result with more people.
