NEW DELHI: Telecom operator Reliance Jio recorded over 2.5 times higher average data download speed of 21 megabits per second in September 2019, compared to its closest competitor Bharti Airtel, according to data released by the sector regulator Trai. Bharti Airtel network recorded an average download speed of 8.3 Mbps in September. It was followed by Vodafone with 6.9 Mbps and Idea Cellular with 6.4 Mbps download speed.

Both Vodafone and Idea Cellular have merged their businesses but their network integration is still on.
On Tuesday, private mobile data analytics firm Opensignal said it has found Bharti Airtel with the fastest data download speed between June-August 2019. Data published by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India showed that Jio was on top of the chart during the Opensignal survey period.

State-owned BSNL, which has only a 3G network, maintained its lead in the segment over private telecom operators with a download speed of 2.6 Mbps and upload speed of 1.3 Mbps.
Idea Cellular regained the top spot in the upload segment with 5.4 Mbps speed in September by pipping its partner Vodafone, which recorded an average upload speed of 5.2 Mbps. Jio was in the third spot in the segment with an upload speed of 4.2 Mbps and it was followed by Airtel with an upload speed of 3.1 Mbps, according to the data published by Trai.
