Jio tops Trai’s 4G mobile broadband chart in August

Reliance Jio continued to maintain its lead in the 4G mobile broadband chart with an average download speed of 21.3 megabits per second (Mbps) in August, according to the latest report published by telecom regulator Trai.

Vodafone, however, maintained a lead in terms of upload with 5.5 Mbps speed.

The download speed helps users access the video online and messages received by them, among others, while upload speed helps users send photo, video and other documents to people online.

Airtel followed Jio with an average download speed of 8.2 Mbps and was followed by Vodafone (7.7 Mbps) and Idea Cellular (6.1 Mbps) in August.

Though Vodafone and Idea have merged their mobile businesses, Trai measured their performance separately as the integration of networks of both companies is currently on.
