Reliance JioFiber has been reported to be throttling upload speeds
Users say that they are not receiving full speeds
Users who opted for 100Mbps plan have been cut down to 10Mbps.
Jio stepped into the home broadband segment with its JioFiber service, which aimed at delivering more data at faster speeds and lower prices. While Jio has notable broadband offers, its rivals are also competing at the same level but it seems like Jio is capping upload speeds for its JioFiber service users. As per a TelecomTalk report, JioFiber users are complaining on Twitter that their upload speeds are being capped at 1/10th of the original speeds.
There can be some difference between upload and download speeds but as per the report, upload speeds for some JioFiber users is being capped at 1/10th of the original speeds. We found a couple of tweets that mentioned this is happening and posted a screenshot that shows their download speeds nearing 100 Mbps but uploads being stuck at around 10Mbps. We have reached out to Jio for a comment and will update the article when we receive a response. JioFiber plans start at Rs 699 and offer speeds of up to 100Mbps and go up to Rs 3,999 for up to 1Gbps speeds.
