Changing LTE Band

The Band 40 offers better speed while the Bands 3 and 5 provides better coverage. The Band 40 will give up to 50 Mbps of download speed based on the network quality and signal strength. You can change the LTE Band of your handset to Band 40 if your phone is based on Qualcomm and MediaTek chipsets. Take a look at the procedure from this link.

Use a Different Server Name

You can go to the APN settings and scroll down to the server section. Over there, type www.google.com and save the settings. Then, you can reconnect to the internet to check the speed.

Clear Cache

The Android system uses a few files randomly and saves them for enhancing the performance of your system and apps. These files are called cache files. Jio has the ability to temporarily block users from downloading large contents due to the cache files. So, removing cache files can increase the Jio 4G speed a lot. Just go to Settings → Storage & USB → Under Internal Storage, tap on Cached data and hit clear cached data and confirm it by tapping on 'ok'.
