With great power, comes great responsibility. And with great number of users, comes great pressure on infrastructure.
After the mega launch of the much-awaited Jio early this year, everything is not going great for the telecom giant. While Shopclues tried solving the problem of unavailability of the sim card, there are new issues cropping up which can’t be solved that easily. Infrastructure support was always a big concern right from the launch of Jio when the network provider was boasting of providing an extremely high-data speed to the users. With a massive increase in the user base, there was a drop in the speed after the launch. And over time it kept going southwards.
