"Our conclusion is that Jio's network coverage is significantly ahead of the other operators. Jio has good coverage in 80 per cent plus of cities surveyed, compared to less than 30 per cent for the others. The difference is even more stark when compared only with 4G networks of incumbents (sub-15 per cent of cities)," the latest report said.

However, the newcomer did not fare as well when it came to speeds - the survey concluded that Airtel offered the best 4G speed, while Jio was "probably bogged down by load".

"We also studied the network speed results across all these locations. Airtel 4G offers the best download speeds in general (12Mbps plus). Jio, Vodafone and Idea are close to each other (7-8Mbps). We suspect Jio's speeds are impacted by the high load on the network in the free offer period," Credit Suisse said.

Reliance Jio is also leading in data consumption with a Jio user logging 6.54GB on average compared to 1.28GB on Airtel, 1.29GB on Vodafone and 1.32GB on Idea. This report suggests that this is due to the Welcome offer of Jio that offered unlimited data to its subscribers till March 31 this year. The report found that lowered costs being the driving factor, mobile data consumption in metros has increased by almost 6GB and non-metro by almost 5GB over the last few months. The use of social networking platforms such as Facebook and video-streaming apps like Youtube are the primary drivers of usage and large-scale adoption of mobile internet across India.
