Reliance Jio can provide 13 times faster 4G speeds
Jio’s average peak speed at 50 Mbps, which is nearly 13 times faster than its everyday 4G speed download speed of 3.9 Mbps so Reliance Jio can provide 13 times faster 4G speeds, but suffers from capacity bottlenecks. Jio's slow 4G data speeds are not caused because of technical limitations, but because of a "capacity bottleneck."
In comparison, Bharti Airtel is capable of providing 5 times faster data speeds. Airtel’s average peak speed test was 56.6 Mbps, which is 5 times faster than its average 4G download test of 11.5 Mbps.
Meanwhile, both Vodafone and Idea peak speed measurements are about 4 times faster than their 4G measurements.
BSNL finalising inter-circle pact with Voda that will help it offer better services
"We have recently tied up with Vodafone where their users can ride on our network in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Similarly, we are exploring a partnership with them in Delhi and Mumbai. This will help us in offering better services as well as covering black holes," Shrivastava said.
Under the tie-up, users will have an option to connect to Vodafone network while MTNL will continue to be a default option.
BSNL is actively pursuing such arrangements to generate additional source of revenues through passive and active infrastructure sharing.
"The agreement with Vodafone is almost finalised. We are working on technical feasibility...on how billing will be done and CDR (call data record) mechanism will function," he said.
