In the report, OpenSignal stated that Bharti Airtel still leads the internet speed chart in India. “As it did six months ago, Airtel took both our 4G speed and 3G speed awards. We measured average LTE downloads of 9.2 Mbps and 3G downloads of 3.6 Mbps on its networks,” said the OpenSignal report.

However, like it reported last month, Reliance Jio’s LTE speeds in the last six months have seen an uphill, especially after the operator started charging its customers. Reliance Jio reported an average download speed of 5.8 Mbps. Also, OpenSignal says that Jio has impressive LTE coverage across the country.

OpenSignal also stated that the speed rankings in the second report remained unchanged. As said earlier, Airtel topped the chart yet again with an average 9.2 Mbps 4G speed and 3.6 Mbps 3G speed respectively.

Idea Cellular and Vodafone are still deadlocked for second place in the 4G download, each with a measured average LTE speed of 7.4 Mbps. Despite its big speed surge, Jio still ranked last in 4G speed.

Furthermore, OpenSignal’s overall speed metric takes both 3G and 4G speeds into account. It considers the levels of access customers have to each service. In this segment, Jio topped the list with 5.8 Mbps average speed, beating out Airtel’s overall speed result of 5.1 Mbps.
