Jio signals in and around my home are severely affected since my neighbour is using an illegal network signal booster. As soon as he turns off his boosting machine at about 10 pm in night, signals get back and when he turns it on at morning, signals get weak again.
Please help me.
Changing carrier is of no use because Airtel, VI and BSNL don’t work either.
Fiber connection is available but very expensive locally.
Thanks in advance.

No bro, I think you misunderstood. He keeps his boosting machine on for the entire day due to which his internet works great but due to the interference caused, everybody’s network suffers.

1. It’s illegal and unethical.
2. Neighbours suffer just like I am suffering.
3. Better solution is getting his booster seized.

The booster is supposed to boost the signal for everyone using the same mobile network and not just the person who installed it. But it will affect the signal on the other mobile networks.

I think you need to do some research. Watch some good YouTube videos and you will get it.

Exactly.
That too this advisory was issued in 2019. How pathetic! I was expecting some mandatory sentencing of say 3 months and a fine of at least 10k. Pretty sure one can bribe his way out of these nuisance laws.

Also, they aren’t strict about online platforms selling such illegal, nuisance creating equipments. Unfortunately, these china made gadgets are still listed on popular ecommerce websites and even freely sold in local markets.

This thing is illegal wink

Make him peacefully understand that other users signals get affected due to his device. If he fails to comply, warn him that it’s illegal else you know it, you can just lodge a complaint and they’ll do the needful action
