Why is my mobile data slow?

Signal, congestion, FUP, or band? Diagnose first.

Mobile data slowness has 4 main causes in India: weak signal (RSRP < -110 dBm), peak-hour tower congestion (8-11 PM dense urban), FUP throttling (after daily/monthly cap), or being on a slow band (e.g., 2G fallback in a 4G area).

Each has a different fix. Diagnose pinpoints which.

What this measures

  • Mobile data speed
  • Signal strength (where exposed)
  • Carrier + bearer
  • Time-of-day baseline

How it works

  1. Test now
  2. Compare with typical for your carrier+area+time
  3. Identify cause + specific fix

Why this matters

Carrier support routinely says 'reset network settings' regardless of cause. Signalyzr gives you the actual cause.

Top fixes

  • Check signal: dial *#0011# (Android) or Settings → About → Cellular (iPhone)
  • After FUP: top-up or wait until tomorrow
  • Always slow at 8-11 PM: peak congestion — try Wi-Fi

FAQs

Why is Jio slow today?

Common: peak-hour congestion (8-11 PM), FUP limit hit, or you've moved to a weak-signal indoor area.

Should I switch carrier?

Compare on Signalyzr against other carriers in your area first. Carrier quality is very location-specific in India.
