Hitting back on Reliance Jio’s claims that Ookla has falsely certified Bharti Airtel to be the "India's Fastest Mobile Carrier, the US-based broadband testing company on Wednesday said that it goes to great lengths to ensure that the information collected on any Speedtest internet test is verifiably correct, adding that fully stands behind the accuracy and reliability of the methodology used to designate Airtel as ‘India’s Fastest Mobile Network’.
In a statement, the company said that data accuracy and neutrality is of the utmost importance to the company.
According to Reliance Jio, Ookla has knowingly and blatantly released misleading speed results that designated Airtel as the fastest telecom network in India. The 4G telco said that it will initiate actions against the Ookla at appropriate forums.
Jio has already approached the Advertising Standards Council of India, the advertising watchdog, seeking withdrawal of Bharti Airtel’s recent advertisements based on Ookla’s speedtest results. Jio’s lawyers Khaitan & Co. said in the notice that Ookla falsely certified Bharti Airtel to be India's fastest mobile carrier with full knowledge of that the test results are fundamentally flawed and unreliable.
