Bharti Airtel ads say the network provides fastest internet speeds in India, a claim that Reliance Jio said amounts to conspiracy, defamation and breach of trust. In March, Reliance Jio accused Bharti Airtel of airing misleading ads on network data speed. Reliance Jio questioned the Speedtest methodology. An Airtel spokesperson said that the company is grateful to the court for dismissing “frivolous allegations” against Airtel. Data speeds have gained much attention after the entry of Jio, which is seeking to ride on growing demand for data in India.
