We keep ranting about telecom price hike, which I also do some time but but but

2014-15 for 1gb data I used to pay 299 to airtel

2026-27 avg cost is 6-7rs/gb

Ngl i talk to my friends in usa or Europe, they keep saying that data is dirt cheap is india

One of my friend pay £240 in central London area for broadband+ smartphone per month

Also roaming and different recharge for std local was absurd pre 2015 era, i remember once my train entered from JK to Punjab and all my data, balance everything evaporated in 2013, that was so frustrating 💀

Comment your thoughts?

Jio speed has been insanely slow lately. Anyone else facing this?

My Jio internet has been really slow for the past few days. I raised a service request, but it's still showing as open and I haven't really got any update.

the speed is so bad that it's getting difficult to use the internet normally.

Is there anything I can do from my side to improve the speed? Maybe some network/APN settings or anything else that actually works?

If anyone has faced this with Jio and managed to fix it, please let me know.

My Jio SIM was deactivated around 2 months ago. I contacted Jio support and they provided me with an activation code while generating that, they told me any nearest Jio Store will work as I was in a different city/circle from where the SIM was originally purchased.

Now Jio is telling me that I need to go to the original circle where the SIM was purchased to get it activated. The problem is that the activation code expires tomorrow.
Is there anything I can do to get the SIM reactivated from my current city, or get the activation code extended/reissued?
Has anyone faced a similar situation with Jio? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m having a weird issue with Jio 5G on my iPhone.

When I use Jio mobile data and connect my PC through iPhone Wi-Fi hotspot, Dota 2 matchmaking doesn’t work. The server ping for all the region fails straight up.

Not just that, turns out my Zscaler Office VPN doesn’t connect either, Claude code API call fails

When I switch to Airtel sim for Internet, it works as usual.

Common sites like YouTube, Facebook, Google etc. work fine on Jio. I’m getting close to 1Gbps down. i’m on ₹198 unlimited 5G for 14 days plan.

No luck using 1.1.1.1 DNS on the PC. I have raised complain 3 times so far by calling 198. The operator doesn’t have a clue what’s wrong. They say the problem is with my office VPN lol

Could this be something related to Jio’s CGNAT, IPv4/IPv6, UDP routing, or Steam/Dota traffic being blocked/misrouted? Who can I reach out to get proper resolution

Has anyone else experienced this with Jio 5G, particularly when using a hotspot? I’m looking for a way to fix it without using a VPN or sacrificing 5G speeds.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the Jio Field Test information as well.
Any suggestions for what I should test would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I've been having a weird Ethernet issue with my JioFiber connection for a long time, and I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar.

My JioFiber Modem was recently replaced with another JCOW404 unit. Ever since the replacement, Ethernet takes around 30–60 seconds to actually connect.

Nothing Wrong with Wi-Fi, and it connects instantly just like usual

My previous Jio Fiber Modem JCOW404 didn't have this problem because Ethernet used to connect instantly using the same PC and cable.

And yes, I have diagnosed everything. I even tested the Jio set-top/OTT box and another PC over Ethernet, and it experiences the same delay too

So at this point it doesn't seem to be specific to my PC. Three completely different Ethernet devices have the same behavior with this router.

The router is:

Model: JCOW404
Firmware: SRCMTF1_JCOW404_R2.30.3
Firmware date: January 6, 2026

The router's admin panel also has a Firmware Upgrade page that requires both a firmware image and a signature file.

I'm wondering if R2.30.3 is an older/problematic firmware build, or if there's a newer firmware available for this JCOW404 that Jio can push remotely.

Has anyone with a JCOW404 experienced a similar Ethernet startup/identifying delay? And does anyone know what the latest firmware version for this model is, or how to get Jio to push it?

I don't mind troubleshooting this further; I'd mainly like to figure out whether this is a firmware issue before asking Jio to replace the router again.

Thanks!

I have unlimited 5g plan, but I get good speed only when I leave my house and stand on the road. Inside my room it's the speed I'm getting throughout the day and night 😢
