Reliance Jio Fiber upload speeds are 10% of your plan speed

@bigman91 yes, older software can be upgraded via OTA, i dont think that is even a major concern, the hardware is capable of doing things. what color reproduction issues? anyone has started a thread of any news article? i dont see any issue with colors. although the annoying part is HDR10 is on by default and cant be turned off, may be thats what the color complaint might be about. again its just software issue. it should be good when they next ota is released by them. maybe software team should look into all reviews posted on various sites to compile all issues and rectify them immediately else its bad image for the brand.

@ponnitheunreal - I did not face any of the issues others mentioned @drsachin. You read about it here

I got a call today from Jio in Bangalore. The techsupport guy mentioned that upload speed on Jio is same as download. He was pretty adamant on that.

Has Jio policy changed recently?

@rajil.s CC doesn't know shit. One guy will say something and another guy will say different thing

@rajil.s Just check if today is a full moon or maybe CC was having a midweek smoke. BTW UL is still 10% of DL infact I think same rule is there for jio sim too but it's so iffy I can't be sure.

Has any tried to complain about the 1/10th upload speed? If yes then what platform have you tried complain and what was the reply? Has Jio anywhere stated that upload speed be 1/10 of download?

Like why do they even do it? Data caps are applicable for both upload and download. So it’s not like users will jam their network with too much upload. They’re only pissing off users. They most likely know that many users are pissed off at this, and this alone is a reason many won’t get Jio fiber if they have another option. Some even quit Jio after this move. Reliance isn’t stupid, they know it affects their customer base and perceived service quality among users. They will not do this for nothing, so what’s the real reason they do it? Does this significantly take load off their network (kinda hard to imagine)? Most people don’t even upload much, even if there’s full speed.

TL;DR : Reliance isn’t stupid to piss people off for nothing, so what’s the real reason for such a terrible upload speed cap?

It's just a way of achieving maximum utilisation of their already choked network. Rather than reserving 50-50 banwidth for up and down. They went 90-10 split (down-up) on the fiber. So than they can serve even more customers on a single fiber link.

Source for fiber bandwidth split: Why is a home fiber connection asymmetric?

@achaudhary997 that doesn’t make any sense. Yes, the second argument is more likely, they don’t want people to be hosting servers and such, and want to protect their enterprise broadband business.

So from what I understood after reading the link (not 100% sure) is that it works like this.
E.g. Take a fiber which is rated for 1gbit full duplex communication. You can split it is 90:10 by allocating 1.8 gbit for down and 0.2 gbit up.
On this ratio you can put atleast 18: 100 down 10 up users (assuming contention of 1:1). Whereas on a 1gig up and down line. You can only put 10 people with 100 down and 10 up connection before it chokes up (again assuming 1:1 contention)

Hence you will end up saving lots of money on laying cables.
