alrite now my review –
1). i have used airtel in bangalore – poor voice, poor data speed = unsatisfied.
2). i have used airtel in mumbai – bad indoor quality, good outside but i dnt think its best in mumbai = satisfied.
3). i have used airtel in rajasthan – good voice, good data speed = satisfied
4). using airtel in delhi from last 6 years – best voice, best data speed (if u using 3G in night the speed in worst but best in day) = highly satisfied ( i cant event think to switch to other operator in delhi..i m a happy customer of AirTel.)

sunny December 21, 2012 at 10:11 pm
AIRTEL is worst here in m.p. ,no network while travelling ,most of the BTS are down ,,,,, BSNL and IDEA is giving good coverage and net speed is too good in BSNL.
Prashoor December 22, 2012 at 6:49 am
I am with you, am using both these networks from last 3 years.
Never got any network related problem residing in Indore.
Prashoor December 21, 2012 at 8:37 pm
Well, to be specific, many of communication specialist are better aware of technical norms. The network quality of an operator network depends upon the the spectrum quality, mobile tower strengths in a cell, connectivity of towers to BSS, and then to NSS, which is a wired connection and then, Bandwidth of network.
In many areas of our country, the connectivity fails due to the main cause, connectivity between BSS and NSS. As I understood from some network specialist, most of the towers need physical repairing. And what more, many wired networks planted underground have crapped do to absence of maintenance, which cause network to slow down a lot.
Also higher bandwidth spectrum is prone to disturbances through shadowing, multi-path propagation, noise etc. physical causes.
As everyone has a different surroundings, they are susceptible to various kind of network loss events, which can occur even together.
I discover that airtel keeps its promise of better network in most of cases. So I will go with Tarun

Never Use Vodafone….Very Very Bad Network Quality And Covarage..Just Through Out The vodafone Sim Card..Vodafone has worst network in mumbai…I am a airtel customer from last 7 years and I am still smiling. no regret. Better covarage And Also Good Tarrif Plan..

Airtel Has Gone Worst In Karnataka Nowadays. Weak Signal in Indoors, Even The Signal Quality is Very Very Bad That Leads to Doubt That This Airtel is GSM 1800 Operator or GSM 900 Operator. So That We Port out From Airtel to Idea/BSNL Which is Having Seamless Coverage Across Karnataka(IDEA is Available in Towns, Rural and Interior Areas Only and BSNL is Available in Forested Areas Too.).
S.Sudhakar December 22, 2012 at 2:10 am
Do you know how BSNL is providing coverage in forest areas (except in MUDUMALAI TIGER RESERVE)?. Is it satellite based GSM coverage?.
I have also noticed 80% coverage in open areas (not caves) when travelling to Ooty by hill train from Mettupalaiyam.
Arjun Chandrashekar December 21, 2012 at 6:13 pm
Airtel Has Got Worst Indoor Coverage in Mumbai and Rest of Maharashtra Even if I Roam in Rest Of Maharashtra I Need To Select IDEA in Roaming If Airtel Network Doesn’t Exists Especially at Pandarapura Airtel Signal is Very Very Bad…..
Ankit December 21, 2012 at 4:26 pm

viraj December 21, 2012 at 2:39 pm

singh December 21, 2012 at 1:46 pm
feel proud to be a airtel customer from last 9 years and I am still smiling. no regret.
S.SUDHAKAR December 21, 2012 at 1:06 pm
What the hell?. What is the use of network being good?. What about call rates?.
Is there a single network in the world which privides best call, SMS, data rate?.
Then whats the use of only network being good?. I think airtel has filled the pockets of the politicians to get this name and will vote in favour of the congress in 2014 central govbernment election.

Hi
Trai has given a new year gift to all customer by clearing Airtel a best network in Mumbai and maharashtra…this time Trai is wrong
Please tell Trai to dont give reports on the basis of their network checking device.
If Trai really want to give a correct report…then please tell Trai to check the Network,Call, Data ,Voice Clarity by personally traveling to Each n every particular area to get a exact perfect report as well as the most important customer feedback of behavior their respected telecom company. fro network,voice clarity and data etc.
viraj December 21, 2012 at 3:01 pm
