Bharti Airtel Now Has 96.74% Users Active on its Network

Reliance Jio dominated the telecom industry for nearly four years and the telco amassed 400 million users in no time. But Jio is facing slowed subscriber additions over the last three months. The biggest concern for Jio would be Airtel adding more users, in fact, almost double the subscribers. In October 2020, Airtel added 3.67 million new users that took its overall subscriber base to 330.29 million.

Reliance Jio grabbed 2.65 million new users boosting its overall subscriber base to 406.36 million. Since Vodafone Idea lost 2.65 million users, the telco’s overall user base reduced to 292.84 million. BSNL’s loss of 10,000 users means the customer base at the end of October stands at 118.98 million.
