The most precise system for measuring the data speed - Ookla Net Index once again ranked Azercell as the provider of the fastest speed of mobile Internet in Azerbaijan, a message from Azercell said on July 24.

Thus, based on the Ookla research, currently Azercell provides 6.12MB/s of mobile Internet speed. This is the highest index among all mobile operators in the country.

Ookla is one of the most reliable systems for rating Internet connectivity speed, running up to five million tests on a daily basis.

Azercell was also recognized as the country's fastest mobile Internet provider with the speed of 5.5 MB/s in 2013, according to Ookla Net Index. The testing was done over 300,000 unique IP addresses from Azerbaijan. It is worth noting, that Azercell's data speed is very close to the level of fixed broadband speed. Internet users enjoy this quality over radio signal instead of cable connectivity.

"Indisputably, Azercell Telecom is the provider of the fastest, reliable and the most affordable mobile data in Azerbaijan. Currently, Azercell subscribers can choose from a range of data packs of different value: daily, weekly, monthly 3G packs, as well as 4G data packages.
