Telecom major Jio's 5G network has shown top median download speed of close to 600 megabit per second, while Bharti Airtel's network has posted top speed of about 516 mbps, broadband speed research firm Ookla said in a report on Tuesday. The report, based on the data collected from Speedtest Intelligence, showed 5G speed variation between low double-digits (16.27 Mbps) to 809.94 Mbps, which the firm said is indication of ongoing network calibration for the 5G service. While the 5G services were officially launched on October 1, Ookla has taken measurements since June 2022. "In Delhi, Airtel reached nearly 200 Mbps median download speed at 197.98 Mbps while Jio almost broke 600 Mbps (598.58 Mbps) in June 2022," the report said.
