Jio says Ookla has admitted to flaws in speed measurement system

In yet another statement by Reliance Jio, it has been stated that Ookla has now admitted to ‘limitations in its application and that it “does not always indicate the actual data provider in devices with multiple SIMs.”

It added: “This admission by Ookla reinforces Jio’s submission that there is a clear contamination in primary data collected by Ookla in India, where nearly 90 percent of smartphones are dual SIM devices.”

Speed test ad row: Reliance Jio moves Bombay High Court against Airtel and Ookla

Jio says it lost reputation and money on the campaign that amounts to conspiracy, defamation and breach of trust, among others. It also named Ziff Davis, a digital media company that acquired Ookla in 2014, in the complaint.

Jio asked for trial under Sections 204, 406, 420, 465, 499 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code. The charges, if proved, can lead to a hefty fine, a few years imprisonment or both.

"The accused, as part of their larger vilification media campaign against the complainant, have deliberately coined the term to associate it with its telecom services, to deceive the public into general believing the so called award from accused number 3 (Ookla) is from an entity that has the authority to pass official certification whose data is indisputable and is universal authority on the subject," Jio said.

"Thus, the accused have wilfully, deliberately and knowingly mislead the Indian public," it added. Jio also charged Ookla with trying to "sell" its speed test certification for $120,000 and said it was even charging a commission of 2-4x if an operator wished to promote its business using the purported results.

Data by Ookla is "dishonestly and mischievously manipulated, records are fudged and data is forged with intention to cheat" to make it saleable to service providers, the complaint said.

It added that it had declined Ookla's offer since it did not agree with the testing methodology and accused the company of selling the flawed data to Airtel. Some of the flaws mentioned in the petition include that dual SIM phones, when tested upon by Ookla's method, reads the speed of both SIMs but tags it only to the primary SIM holder, which mostly belong to incumbent operators currently.
