Airtel beats Jio

New Delhi, July 26: The leading telecom company Airtel has beaten the Reliance Jio in terms of 4g speed.

According to the open-signal reports, Airtel now tops the chart by being a network with the maximum average peak speed

The report by the London-based OpenSignal, which evaluates the quality of the network and their coverage area, claims that even as Reliance Jio's average 4G LTE speed is 3.9Mbps, the average peak speed - when the network is performing at optimal conditions - stands at 50Mbps. The test shows the results between the period December 2016 and February 2017.

OpenSignal reaffirms that most of the time, subscribers are not able to avail the peak speed. But every once in a while, they "stumble onto an incredibly fast connection." OpenSignal said one of the reasons why Reliance Jio's network aren't fully optimised have something to do with just the volume of data people are consuming on its network.

they revelaed that, Airtel is the best telecom network in terms of both 3G and 4G download speed. While, Jio wins the race in the 4G LTE availability. Based on their testing, Jio's network was able to find a 4G signal 91.6 per cent of the time, which in comparison, other Indian operator failed to score higher than 60 per cent in the availability test.
