Reliance Jio 4G Speeds Down 33 Percent in Last Two Months
Jun. 5, 2018Back in February this year, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) reported that Reliance Jio was thefastest 4G service providerin the country, posting an average download speed of 21.3 Mbps. In comparison, Jio’s main competitor, Bharti Airtel posted an average download speed of only 8.8 Mbps.
The report further reveals that Idea Cellular continues to lead the market when it comes to upload speeds, posting an average upload speed of 6.5Mbps. Vodafone took the second spot, offering an average 4G upload speed of 5.2Mbps, followed by Jio at 4Mbps and Airtel at 3.7Mbps.
While the telecom industry continues to see prices drop due to Reliance Jio’s aggressive pricing, the company’s growing subscriber base seems to be having a negative effect on the quality of the service provided. Back in December last year, Jio hit its peak 4G download speeds of 25.6Mbps and despite the fact that it’s 4G download speeds are way above the competition, it’s not been able to maintain the margin over the last few months.
