his countrywide team for their tireless efforts.

performed best under `Network Downtime’ by achieving a threshold
score of 0.23%, least in the industry indicating its network
durability across the country, and a 5.04 seconds `Call Connection
Time’ Threshold, which indicates average connection time of calls
