Jio 4G Vs Airtel 4G Real-Life speed test results will shock you

According to Airtel, they provide the fastest wireless internet and Jio also claims to do the same. Today, we will be doing a real-life speed test of Airtel and Jio to get an idea about the "4G" speeds offered by these brands in Bengaluru (Jayanagar 3rd Block).

The speed test was done on the Nokia 7 Plus running on the latest Android 8.1 Oreo update. We also made sure that, no app is running in the background at the time of doing the speed test and the speed test was done in an office environment to get the real-life results.

The speed test was done using two applications. Speetest by Ookla and MySpeed (TRAI) from the Telecom regulatory authority of India. The test was done three times and there was a bit of speed difference from one test to another and we have selected the middle one to make this speed test fair.
