India's Broadband Market Sees Growth in Fixed Wireless Access and Public Wi-Fi Usage

Bharti Airtel leads in broadband experience across key metrics, while Reliance Jio holds the largest subscriber base, according to a 2026 Opensignal report. Meanwhile, affordable public Wi-Fi services, supported by initiatives like the PM-WANI scheme, are helping working-class families access the internet through sachet-based data packs, addressing connectivity challenges where home broadband is costly or unavailable.
