Ranking in October Remains Same But Speeds Increase Now the thing to note about this month’s result of the Netflix ISP Speed Index is that all the broadband service providers have witnessed a substantial increase in their indexes and that translates to an increase in speeds as well. However, that hasn’t translated to any change in the ranks, meaning that even though these broadband service providers have improved their speeds, the level of competition between these operators has remained the same. Now at the top of the list, this time as well is ranking 7 Star Digital. The broadband service provider is mostly situated in Mumbai and the nearby regions, and it has maintained its position. The service provider has increased its speed from 3.46 Mbps to 3.74 Mbps, which is an appreciable increase looking at the previous trends. On the second number is Spectra, which mostly caters to regions around Delhi, but has now expanded operations to other cities as well. Spectra has also improved its speeds from 3.43 Mbps to 3.72 Mbps. Now, on the third rank is Airtel Broadband, or which is now being called as Airtel Xstream Fibre. Airtel’s ranking has also stayed the same at third place, and the operator has improved its speed from 3.37 Mbps to 3.64 Mbps. On the fourth and fifth position are ACT Fibernet and Reliance JioFiber. While ACT has taken its speed from 3.3 Mbps to 3.63 Mbps, Reliance JioFiber’s speeds have gone up from 3.23 Mbps to 3.63 Mbps. https://youtu.be/oDodR4xLMHI ACT Fibernet and 7 Star Digital In Advantage It can be seen that in the month of September to October, all of the broadband operators have definitely made improvements in their speeds and it is more than what they have been made in a month on month basis since a long time. It was first in April 2019 that Reliance JioFiber was surpassed by 7 Star Digital, and since then, Reliance JioFiber has been declining in the rankings of Netflix ISP Speed Index. A part of the reason why this has happened can be because of the shared bandwidth, which the users are experiencing as more and more people get JioFiber connections. On the other hand, ACT Fibernet has also improved its positions on the ranking table, thus getting ahead of Reliance JioFiber.
