Reliance Jio tops 4G download speed chart; Idea leads in upload speed in August

Jio's national average of 4G download speed was more than double compared to its rival Bharti Airtel, which recorded a download speed of 10 megabits per second (Mbps), according to the data published by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on MySpeed Portal.

Reliance Jio emerged as the fastest 4G operator with an average peak download speed of 22.3 Mbps on its network in August while Idea Cellular registered the highest upload speed in the month, according to a Trai report.
Jio's national average of 4G download speed was more than double compared to its rival Bharti Airtel, which recorded a download speed of 10 megabits per second (Mbps), according to the data published by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on MySpeed Portal.
While download speed on Idea 4G network remained flat 6.2 Mbps between July and August, speed on Vodafone improved slightly to 6.7 Mbps in August from 6.4 Mbps in July.
The two companies announced the completion of their merger at August-end.
Idea, however, continued to top the chart in terms of 4G upload speed with a speed of 5.9 Mbps.
The download speed plays an important role when a user watches any video, browse the Internet, access emails; and a good upload speed is required when a user wants to share data like images, videos and any other files through email or social media applications.
Vodafone followed Idea with a slight improvement in upload speed at 5.1 Mbps in August from 5 Mbps in July.
Upload speed on the network of Reliance Jio and Airtel showed improvement to 4.9 Mbps and 4.4 Mbps respectively in August from 4.7 Mbps and 4.3 Mbps respectively in July.
Both Jio and Idea have continued to maintain their leadership in their respective segment since last several months.

Windows derails Chrome, Firefox installation, promotes Microsoft Edge instead

Microsoft  has begun trying a new tactic to get people to use its Edge web browser: a warning dialog box that interrupts the installation of other web browsers like  Mozilla  Firefox or  Google Chrome . "You already have  Microsoft Edge  -- the safer, faster browser for  Windows 10 ," a dialog box reads after you launch an installer for another browser. The process, which appears only in Microsoft's "fast ring" test version of upcoming Windows 10 versions, presents two options: "Open Microsoft Edge" -- the default -- and "Install anyway."

Developer Sean Hoffman spotted the issue when trying to install Firefox,  he said on Twitter  on Tuesday. Another Twitter user  reported the same behavior  with Chrome,  Vivaldi , Opera and Firefox browsers. CNET confirmed...

Google employees are protesting the company’s secrecy over censored search engine in China

About a thousand Google employees have signed a letter protesting the company’s efforts to build a  censored version of its search engine  in China, as reported by  The   New York Times . The letter calls for more transparency and consideration of the human rights issues involved, as internet monitoring and collaboration with the Chinese government is used to stifle dissident voices and even put activists’ personal information at risk. The letter reads “currently we do not have the information required to make ethically-informed decisions about our work, our projects, and our employment,” as two anonymous sources informed the  Times.  It continued, “Google employees need to know what we’re building.” On August 3rd,  The Intercept  and  The Information  reported that Google is working on a censored search app and a censored news app for China, with the ultimate aim being to revive a censored version of its search engine in the count...
