I have been using Reliance Jio for nearly 2 months now and have been overall satisfied with their network at least for now during the unlimited plans. However, one thing that I have noticed and which has only deteriorated over time is the slow browsing speed in Jio especially for foreign websites. I am not sure if I am the only one but browsing speed for nearly all websites are very slow for a 30 or 40 mbps connection. Even in Youtube, I notice a lot of lag and buffering at times. Sometimes, even in 480p, I notice buffering on Youtube which is quite illogical for a 30-40 Mbps connection. And for websites outside India, the browsing and connecting speed is almost terrible. For example, when I try to connect with remote desktop to one of my virtual private servers in US, I notice that the connection is not stable at all and breaks off intermittently.
I have had a terrible time with BSNL (especially with their terrible lines and terrible customer support) but even on a 4Mbps connection, I had noticed a lot more smoothness in browsing websites or connecting with remote desktop etc. when their lines are often stable. In fact, my BSNL line (which I have downgraded to the base 512kbps plan for the past few months since I took Jio) became a bit stable today after ages and the DSL and internet lights were stable sometime ago. Then I tried connecting to the remote desktop using the 512kbps connection and it seemed to be almost equally if not more stable than Jio. I also tried browsing and there was not much difference in browsing speed though it is nearly 1/80th of the speed or so.
The downloading speed is what I like of Jio but I feel that their overall network is not properly optimized. I am not sure if I am the only one but I have always felt the slowness in browsing and connecting with the Reliance Jio connection. And it has only become worse over the months. Other people who had taken Reliance Jio say the same thing too and that the network has only become slower in the past couple of months. Hope they fix the issues soon and especially before their Jio FTTH launch (which I am more interested in).
Has anybody else noticed the slow browsing or laggy connection problem with Jio?
