Jio 5G chokepoint issues in 2026.

[Kyle Crane]

Jio has the largest 5G network in India
Jio has 5G SA (True 5G)
Jio has the highest backhual capacity (subsea cables)
Jio has financial backing of Reliance
Jio is Profitable

YET

somehow, they still have the same issue, which was common in 4G days, TBF it's a lot less common than 4G choke issues back in 2017/18/19 and anything before there 4G CA roll out began

whats the actual reason behind this ,does anyone know? what causes the network to suddenly give 1mbps or less instead of the avg 5G speeds of 200mbps plus ,and why is this a thing even with 5G?

Today i was out in Mumbai in this weird 40C heatwave and suddenly i find Jio to be extremely slow and so slow that it wouldn't even load Uber, Thankfully i had my main Vi 5G sim with 5G network

Jio 5G vs Vi 5G at the same spot

I Know these network chokes are common with other operators as well, especially at a dense area but with Jio it's just more expectations due to their resourcefulness

Jio has f**** their 5G network by forcing people on Airfiber. They have sliced their network so much that there is no slice left for normal 5G data usage.

Off topic but is there a budget phone that has all JIO 5g bands, facing absolute terrible network issues in PCMC with Jio 4G and 5G both.
