Slow Jio 4G speed: Here's a method to increase Jio speed but why bother
















Method 1: Lock the 4G network to band 40

To get best coverage you don't need to do anything, your phone will automatically switch to the band that offers better coverage.
To increase speed follow these steps:
-- Dial *#*#4636#*#*
-- Select phone information
-- Select "Set preferred network type"
-- Select LTE Only
For Qualcomm processor
-- Install Shortcut Master (Lite) app from Play Store.
-- Menu > Search
-- Type "Service Menu" or "Engineering Mode" and search
-- Open if found and access to change LTE bands
For MediaTek processor
-- Install MTK Engineering Mode
-- Run app
-- Select 'MTK Settings'
-- Select 'BandMode'
-- Select SIM slot where you have put your Jio SIM
-- Select 'LTE mode'
-- Select band 40 for best speed or band 5 for best coverage
-- Save settings & reboot mobile to activate changes.
Note: These methods may or may not work even if you have smartphones with these processors. We suggest you to try these on your own risk.
But there is a catch and that is why you should not try locking your band.
While it is understandable to desire 4G speed as high as 50Mbps, the above methods may or may not work. The chances are it won't. More importantly, we suggest you don't attempt to lock your LTE band.
As we said earlier, every phone, smartphone or otherwise, is built with capabilities to find the right connection for you, a band so to say.
Reliance Jio is the only 4G network that supports three LTE bands for best coverage and best speed.
So if you lock the LTE network at band 40 your phone will not be able to switch to a network band with better coverage. The band 40 will probably give you better speed, but it will also be more inconsistent and your network may drop when you change location.
Similarly if you lock the network to band 3 or band 5, you may get good coverage but speed may not be that good. Even if band 40 is available in your current location your phone will stay at band 3 or band 5, as locked.
Yes, you have the option of going through the whole process again and change the band, but then if your phone is capable of doing that automatically why should you take the pain.
That said, there are some more tricks you can use. 

Method 2: Change APN settings

You can also increase speed of your Jio internet by changing the APN settings. But before changing it we suggest you to note down the current settings.
Change the APN Settings as shown below.
-- Name - RJio
-- APN - jionet
-- APN Type - Default
-- Proxy - No changes
-- Port - No changes
-- Username - No changes
-- Password - No changes
-- Server - www.google.com
-- MMSC - No changes
-- MMS proxy - No changes
-- MMS port - No changes
-- MCC - 405
-- MNC - 857 or 863 or 874
-- Authentication type - No changes
-- APN Protocol - Ipv4/Ipv6
Download Snap VPN from Play Store
After changing the APN settings, download Snap VPN app from the Google Play Store. Once you have installed the app connect to Singapore or France server. This should improve your downloading speed but not browsing speed.
