Why is mobile internet so slow in India compared to other countries? The main reasons are:

  • High taxes make mobile network costly to install/upgrade.
  • Regulations in India are more as compared to other countries. This increases the cost to install/upgrade towers.
  • India's per capita GDP is less than many countries i.e. An average Indian mobile consumer on average spends less on his mobile internet as compared to other countries. So less money is available to install/upgrade networks.
