Govt tells BSNL to look at options, including closure

[Sarkar]

So Reliance Jio is already number 1. Nothing to run away with then. And 7 lac subscribers isn't much, though they are at 9th place! Also, Vodafone-Idea seems to be in 2nd place already in terms of broadband subscribers. So they do have big base.

Jio count even not active SIMs as their broadband users that's why such high number

What about others?

What about others?

Active subscriber base is lowest in Jio. Trai data showed the active subscriber (VLR) base of Jio was at 187.3 million at the end of July. This is lower than Bharti’s 342 million, Vodafone’s 206.4 million and Idea Cellular’s 201.3 million.


Reliance Jio has fewer active users than Vodafone, Idea

This is not broadband alone right? For jio, it is, but for others it's not correct?

Yes. For jio all subscribers are broadband user but for AVOID only 3G/4G users as TRAI call broadband speed >512 kbps which 2G cannot achieve

Yeah, So, if we compare only broadband subscribers, Jio might still be ahead of AVOID. It would have been great, if the table you shared in the other post is available as of Nov 30. It has clear segregation of broadband vs regular subscribers.

jio is ahead only in user number and not in raw speed. Ookla report published yesterday

Let's see. I don't think it will happen, as Jio seems to be taking measures to improve speed in many areas. And if that happens, it will probably be a loss for consumers. We read what Mittal said in his interview!!
