Reliance Jio
continued its lead in average 4G download speed rankings with 20.9 megabit per
second (mbps) speed, while Vodafone topped the chart in terms of 4G upload
speed in January, according to telecom regulator Trai’s data.
Reliance Jio
led the chart despite dip in peak download speed of 27.2 mbps recorded in
November. The company had almost three times higher speed than its nearest rival
Bharti Airtel.
According to
the data published by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), Bharti
Airtel network had average 4G download speed of 7.9 mbps, Vodafone 7.6 mbps and
Idea 6.5 mbps.
The average
speed is computed by Trai based on the data it collects across India with the
help of its MySpeed application on a real-time basis.
Though
Vodafone and Idea have merged their mobile businesses, Trai measured their
performance separately as the integration of networks of both the companies is currently
on.
Vodafone
topped the chart for upload speed with data speed of 6 mbps. It was followed by
Idea which recorded upload speed of 5.6 mbps, Reliance Jio 4.6 mbps and Airtel
3.8 mbps.
