Bangladesh's Mobile Network in Detail
Bangladesh has several operators, with Grameenphone and Robi Axiata being the two leading networks. HelloRoam's Bangladesh plan connects via Grameenphone, which has the widest 4G coverage and the largest subscriber base in the country.
Dhaka has dense 4G coverage across the city including Gulshan, Banani, Dhanmondi, Old Dhaka, and Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Average 4G download speeds in Dhaka run 10 to 35 Mbps. Chittagong (Chattogram) has full 4G in the city and port area. Cox's Bazar has good 4G along the beach strip, in the main town, and at the airport.
Sylhet has 4G in the city and the main tea garden zones. The Lawachara National Park near Srimangal has coverage at the visitor area. The Sundarbans mangrove forest is extremely remote. Coverage exists in Mongla and the access towns, but decreases rapidly inside the forest, and most river routes have no signal. The Chittagong Hill Tracts (Rangamati, Bandarban, Khagrachhari) have coverage in the main town areas but significant gaps on hill roads and in forested areas. River ferries on the major routes between Dhaka and southern cities generally maintain coverage along the river banks. Australian travellers should confirm their handset is unlocked and supports the local network bands.
