JioDown is trending on Twitter today, just a day after the massive Facebook outage that took WhatsApp offline for almost seven hours late on Monday night. Although five users of Reliance Jio at Gadgets 360 were all able to use their connections normally, there are almost 4,000 reports of issues with Jio connections on the Internet outage tracker DownDetector, and rising quickly. Looking at the data on DownDetector, the issues started getting reported around 9:30am on Wednesday morning, and have started to peak in about an hour.
As you can see on DownDetector, there has been a sharp rise in issues reported with Jio, which indicates that there might be a real issue with connectivity, as almost half the reports say there is no connectivity. According to DownDetector’s map of reports, the issue seems fairly widespread with reports clustered around Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Indore, and Raipur.

The same could be seen on Twitter as well, with the hashtag JioDown trending today — and many users also quoting Reliance Jio’s tweet about the Facebook outage, where Jio had tweeted that “it’s not the Internet”.
Gadgets 360 has written to Reliance Jio to learn more, and will update this article once we get a response.
