New Delhi: If you have ever wondered why your mobile data crawls in one neighbourhood and flies in another, the telecom regulator now wants you to see the answer on a map. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) launched the Network Anubhav Platform on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, a public dashboard that brings together internet speed tests, call quality ratings and spam complaint services in one place.
The platform, available at anubhav.trai.gov.in, is built for ordinary users first. You can open it, zoom into an area and check how mobile and broadband networks have actually performed there, based on tests run by other users and by TRAI itself.
What Network Anubhav actually shows
Network Anubhav is a geospatial and analytical dashboard. In plain terms, it puts test results on an interactive map so you can compare networks location by location, instead of relying on a single speed test or an advertisement claim.
The dashboard pulls together two kinds of data. The first comes from consumers through TRAI’s own apps, MySpeed for internet speed tests and MyCall for rating voice calls. The second comes from TRAI’s independent drive tests, where the regulator measures networks on the ground. Together, they give a picture of coverage, download and upload speeds, and call quality in a given area.
Results can be viewed separately for cellular networks and fixed broadband, and they are further split by service provider and by technology.
How to read the speed numbers
This is the part worth understanding before you draw conclusions. Network Anubhav reports percentile values from user tests in an area, rather than one headline speed.
- P50, or the median speed: half of the tests in that area recorded this speed or higher.
- P80 for mobile broadband: a benchmark showing what most mobile users experienced in that area.
- P90 for fixed broadband: a similar benchmark for wired broadband connections in the area.
TRAI has cautioned that these user-generated figures are not a complete assessment of network quality under a standard methodology. They show what other users experienced at various locations, which is useful, but they are not a formal audit of a network. A street with only a handful of tests will naturally be less reliable than an area with hundreds of them.
Spam complaints move to the web too
Network Anubhav is not only about speeds. The same portal gives web access to TRAI’s Do Not Disturb (DND) services, a change that could matter to anyone tired of promotional calls and messages.
Through the web interface, users can register their preferences for commercial communications, submit complaints about unsolicited calls and messages, and track the status of those complaints. The platform also shows consolidated and service provider wise complaint information, so patterns are visible instead of buried in individual grievance tickets.
TRAI Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti said the platform would improve transparency, help consumers analyse location and provider specific test results, and enable operators to identify areas for network optimisation.
How to use Network Anubhav in a few minutes
- Open anubhav.trai.gov.in on your phone or computer.
- Pick cellular or fixed broadband, then choose a service provider and technology for a like for like comparison.
- Zoom into your home, office or the area you are planning to move to, and check download and upload speeds and call quality there.
- Use the MySpeed and MyCall apps to run your own tests and add to the data for your area.
- For spam, use the DND web interface on the same portal to set preferences, complain and track your complaint.
Why this launch matters now
India’s mobile and broadband users have long had to choose a provider on the basis of shop advice, advertising or trial and error. A public, location specific dashboard shifts some of that power to the consumer, even with its limits. It also puts pressure on operators in a visible way: weak coverage in a neighbourhood is no longer just a private complaint, it is a dot on a regulator’s map.
FAQs
What is TRAI Network Anubhav?
It is a map based dashboard launched by TRAI on 4 November 2026 that shows mobile and broadband test results, call quality data and DND services in one place.
Where can I access Network Anubhav?
At anubhav.trai.gov.in. You can view results on interactive maps and use the DND web interface from the same portal.
Does Network Anubhav replace a speed test?
No. It aggregates tests from TRAI’s MySpeed and MyCall apps and from TRAI’s drive tests. For your own connection, run a test through MySpeed and contribute that result to the platform.
Can I complain about spam calls on Network Anubhav?
Yes. The DND web interface lets you register commercial communication preferences, submit complaints about unsolicited communications and track their status.
Are the speed figures a full assessment of a network?
No. TRAI says user test figures do not represent a comprehensive assessment under a standard methodology, but they do show what other users experienced in an area.
Network Anubhav is a transparency dashboard, not a guarantee of speed at your exact address. Check the pattern for your area, test your own connection, and use the DND tools if unwanted calls are the bigger problem.
