Jio Data Speed almost Doubles

According to the recent report from Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Reliance Jio has posted the average speed of 18.43 Mbps, whereas other competitors like Vodafone, Idea Cellular and Airtel have posted 8.999 Mbps, 8.746 Mbps, and 8.550 Mbps. Reliance Jio has managed to retain its top spot for 8th consecutive time. It seems for now that there is no one to topple Jio, not at least in near future.

Jio speed doubles

Meanwhile, India's third largest telecom operator Idea Cellular has achieved the highest upload speed. Idea reported a high average download speed of 8.74 Mbps for the same period. As per TRAI's My Speed App, Idea has been consistently achieving high upload speeds since May 2017.The report is analyzed more than 7 billion measurements collected from 708,504 mobile devices from subscribers across India.

OpenSignal also said that out that Jio's average 4G download speed result climbed from 3.9 Mbps to 5.8 Mbps - an astonishing 49 percent increase.  As the free-data period concluded, something clearly happened to ease the congestion on Jio's network

In the six months between reports, Jio’s average 4G download speed result climbed from 3.9 Mbps to 5.8 Mbps, the firm said. “A likely explanation is that Jio customers began restricting their data usage once they found themselves paying for the gigabytes they consumed, though network upgrades or customer losses could also explain the shift in speeds,” it said in a report released on Thursday.
