Reliance Jio recorded almost 600 Mbps median download speed on its 5G network in Delhi while India’s overall 5G speed hit 500 Mbps, Ookla’s ‘Speedtest Intelligence’ report showed on Tuesday.
According to the report, telecom operators witnessed a wide range of 5G download speeds — from low double-digit (16.27 Mbps) to 809.94 Mbps.
“This data points to the fact that the operators are still recalibrating their networks. The speeds are expected to be more stable moving forward as these networks will enter the commercial stage,” the report mentioned.
Ookla compared median 5G download speeds across four cities – Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Varanasi – where both Jio and Airtel have built their networks.
In Delhi, Airtel reached nearly 200 Mbps median download speed at 197.98 Mbps while Jio almost broke 600 Mbps (598.58 Mbps).
In Kolkata, Airtel’s median download speed was 33.83 Mbps compared to Jio’s 482.02 Mbps.
In Mumbai, Jio’s median download speed was 515.38 Mbps, while Airtel’s was reached 271.07 Mbps.
In Varanasi, Airtel achieved a 5G median download speed at 516.57 Mbps to Jio’s 485.22 Mbps median download speed since June 2022.
