Reliance JioFiber Slips to Fifth on Netflix ISP Speed Index, This Time Outranked by ACT Fibernet

Reliance JioFiber has become a household name in the country. It has been almost a month and a half since the service was officially launched in the country along with its plans and pricing. Even with that, some customers continue to enjoy the preview offer from Reliance Jio. However, overall, the response of the public towards Reliance Jio’s FTTH service has been lukewarm as best, and there are multiple reasons behind it. It is worth noting that ACT Fibernet was the ISP which was previously ranking right below JioFiber on the fifth number, but in the period between August and September, ACT Fibernet increased its speed from 3.13 Mbps to 3.30 Mbps which was a fair increase in speed. This was the reason why ACT Fibernet was able to outrank JioFiber on the Netflix ISP Speed Index.

True North's home advantage

True North has restructured its business and investment teams in line with sectoral specialisations—financial services, consumer sector, health care, and technology products and services. Pramod Kabra, partner for consumer sector, says, “People who know the next level of details are important. That happens when you have a deep understanding and that is possible only when someone spends a considerable amount of time in a specific sector.” Adds Kabra, who joined True North in 2007 and has overseen some of its key deals, including investment in cable firm Atria Convergence Technologies (ACT), “It had a turnover of nearly ₹30 crore… now it is ₹1,650 crore. Whichever city it has entered in, it has become number one. Apart from Kabra, Ashish Bhargava and Srikrishna Dwaram look after the consumer vertical. “True North is instrumental in getting the best talent and making sure the business takes a long-term perspective without compromising on care, compassion and value addition to all stakeholders,” says Bala Malladi, chief executive officer, ACT.
