I have been using Reliance Jio as my primary phone number for more than two months now and here is my honest review about Reliance Jio and all of it’s servicesWhen Reliance Jio was launched, it was launched as a pure 4G network and it held it’s claim till the point it was under Preview Offer, but since Jio has launched it’s Welcome Offer, the internet speed become so slow that at some point I started to feel that a 3G network will be faster than Jio’s pure 4G network. Though it is mostly because of the insane number of customer Jio has right now and most of those people are always downloading crap to keep the network congested. But still as a company when you are about to release publicly these are the key factor you should keep in your mind.
Honestly after using Reliance Jio for more than two months as my primary SIM card, I kinda feel like their network is really not ready for a stable release and it is more of like a buggy beta version of a programme. Get this, on an average the internet speed I receive from Jio on their pure 4G network is somewhat around 0.2 Mbps to 2 Mbps. It mostly stay between 0.6 – 1.7 Mbps.
At this speed browsing internet become so problematic that I can’t explain it in words. Loading a webpage takes almost around 10 – 15 seconds. If you are thinking about watching videos on YouTube, well make yourself ready for either a lower bit rate video or buffering. It is so bad that while using the Facebook app, if I want to see someone’s profile picture in full screen mode, sometime I have to wait 2 – 3 minute before it shows up. Really frustrating. Believe it or not this is why even tough I have a Jio SIM, I always look for a stable WiFi. Really pathetic. Take a look at this Google Sheet where I’ve plotted my internet speeds, that I have received from Jio. This is exported from speedtest.net app and I will keep updating it with more recent results as time goes on.
