As Apple is still singing iOS 9.1, you can now downgrade back to
iOS 9.1 from latest firmware iOS 9.2 which was released a days ago.
If you feel iOS 9.1 is better than iOS 9.2 and had accidently
upgraded via OTA update then you don’t have to worry about. Apple is still
signing the iOS 9.1 firmware, so downgrade is possible. So hurry up because
Apple might stops signing iOS 9.1 at any time.

I suggest you to downgrade to iOS 9.1 and stick to it for some time. What if there is jailbreak for iOS 9.1 rather than 9.2? So downgrade it as soon as possible. If the jailbreak team releases the jailbreak for iOS 9.1, it will be difficult to downgrade later because Apple will stop signing iOS 9.1 at that time but if there is jailbreak for iOS 9.2, you can upgrade your iOS at anytime. Anyway here is step by step procedure on how to downgrade your iOS if you wish to do so.
