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

[shashankb]

As we go further in the years , Symmetric Upload and Download Speeds will become a thing due to the increasing number(very small amount still) of Streamers , Youtubers , Graphic Designers , Teachers using Video conferencing software , Cloud Storage users .

People should and will start questioning the speed of Upload in the coming years and ISP has to listen to them .

For example Spectranet advertises Symmetric speeds

Many providers will get in the race and hopefully the ratio gets to 50:50

I have seen uploads to Youtube are quite slow still. I wonder if Youtube limits the upload or my ISP

@shashankb every single ISP that I’ve heard of other than Jio gives symmetrical speeds. My BSNL fiber also has symmetrical speeds on paper and upload speeds are actually higher.

Looks like Kolkata is the best place for having a home internet connection. Alliance broadband gives 60 Mbps symmetric speed (truly no FUP) at just Rs 500+Rs 90 GST per month. Also, they allow you to get a static IP for Rs 3000+ taxes per year (yeah that's pricey). Wishnet provides 100 Mbps at the same price if you pay for 3 months upfront.

Hey I'm from Rohtak too and recently moved away from local ISP provider to Jio fiber due to lco providing bad speed and ping to servers even in India. Upload speed is indeed low on Jio fiber but download speed even on international servers is full.

Why Jio have low upload speed? Idk. It's reliance being reliance. Maybe they're waiting to launch cctv facilities and then they might change upload speed but I don't know.

@ankushmalik1120 how’s the latency on indian and international servers? Can you post some speedtest results to major cities? Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Singapore, Japan, EU, US

Even I would like to know the reason behind this. It makes zero sense as they already have tiny FUPs. I think maybe it is because they are planning to remove fup in future and capping upload will save them money in that situation. Anyway, I'm definitely one of those who would not even consider jio because of this reason alone (And also steer away friends and family from jio fiber).

These tests were ran when my family was using internet for light browsing etc. Otherwise it can even hit 98-99 on 5ghz WiFi.

What is your current ISP though? I ditched mine due to their rude support behaviour. A week ago I called them to complain that their speed and jitter is shit to any server expect Google servers and other big companies servers even in India. I didn't even get good speed to Google compute engine in Bangalore.

And what did they do? Tried to fool me by making random stuff like saying tell us if Google play store or YouTube are slow. / Insisting on Local version of Singapore server to test speed when I complained I was getting 0-1 Mbps in speed test to USA or 10 to Singapore server with upload speed fine or getting better speed using clouflare VPN.

But the worst is when I told them I used to get better speed in old ISP and they said so change to your old ISP we don't have problem. I did exactly that and got Jio installed on same day. They didn't acknowledge that their backend was underload and just tried to act rudely.

My ISP was skigrid

Question is when they could provide symmetric speeds during trial phase why are they reducing it for paying customers?

GPON has upload limitations compared to download. A normal gpon has approx 2.5Gbps download ability and 1.2Gbps upload. So right off the bat, you can only provide 50% upload. You can get away with providing symmetrical upload as most users download more but Jio is planning for a large nationwide network. Then we come to time division multiple access (TDMA burst mode) on the ONT at the exchange level. One fiber has to handle all traffic to multiple ONU CPEs so each CPE (home terminal/ Jio router) is given a time slot of a few milliseconds to transmit . All data downstream is received by all ONUs but they ignore everything not coded for them. So you will see how providing higher upload speed would cause more strain on the system. I don’t know if Jio is using 10-gpon but even if they are, it provides a little under 10Gb down and 2.4 up making it even more necessary to limit upload speeds as you have just 25% upload capacity.
In addition Jio is also providing voice and TV over the same link. That is why I think they have reduced the upload after commercial launch as they started the STB streaming. So certain amount of capacity is earmarked for that as well.

Jio should start testing NG-PON2.
