Oh hell no. Airtel 4G is literally unusable aside from a few posh locations in the city. My mother has an Airtel sim and most of the time there is nothing happening no matter what you do due to extreme 4G data congestion on the network. I used to think 4G speeds were terrible and…
They haven't deployed band 1 10Mhz at most of the places. Don't expect much of the speeds you mentioned. 3G is still on at many places on half of the spectrum.
An old saying, "A lie told hundred times becomes a truth." How many times times DoT penalised telcos in past for missing deadlines? At time of 3G all operators didn't even covered 50% of India after 5 years and most of people really got switched from 2G to 4G directly (Thanks to Reliance Jio). AVoId…
Will they keep 26 GHz only for enterprises ?? I wonder when they will deploy it at market, shopping malls, stadiums, metro stations etc. Jio has Rolled Out 5G Nationwide in the 26 GHz mmWave Spectrum Reported By TANAY SINGH THAKUR AUGUST 14TH, 2023 AT 05:51 PM
Not at all. Airtel 5G due to NSA has reduced the 4G speeds as well. With respect to Jio, due to 5G, a little bit improved speeds are there on 4G. It's time for both of them to launch tariff plans for 5G.
BSNL is hogging on B28 (10 MHz), B8 (5 MHz), B1(10 MHz), B41 & 26 GHz bands. They already holding 10 MHz B3 in Delhi. They don't B3 anymore. First deploy what they have. Same with Vi, complete the incomplete block of bands and deploy it all. What is the point of holding on spectrum,…
My friend you are mistaken.. sub-GHz bands are used to fill indoor coverage only, but not limited to calls. Airtel and Vi are holding less than 10 MHz in many circles. After 2022 auction, Airtel said they don't need n28 as of now cause they have n8 to tackle that problem. But 5G with less…
They can give upto 70 Mbps on 10 MHz B1 like Airtel or Jio do on 10 MHz B3/B5 etc. but even with latest technologies they are stuck with 10-15 Mbps. I don't think BSNL 5G will be able to give more than 100 Mbps either. BSNL will surrender a lot of spectrum next year…
Airtel's NSA 5G on n78 is competing neck and neck with Jio SA 5G. I don't think their decision on going for NSA 5G was any bad after having experience with it. If they delay a little and move to SA 5G with 5.5G ( 5G Advance ) will be better. For older 5G it…
BSNL has completely covered Chandigarh with 4G network now alongwith satellite towns like Mohali and Panchkula (city limits only). At most of places, it is done with 5MHz bandwidth only and rest 5MHz still for 3G except few sectors where whole 10 MHz is implemented in Band 1 2100 MHz. Band 41 yet not implemented…
Actually 10 MHz is left in 700MHz Band28. BSNL also not have money to use whole 10 MHz so they will return it too. Mostly their 5G will be on N41/N78. Airtel was not interested last time also for 700 MHz. This time too they shown no interest in pre-meetings and Jio has done with…
Band 5/8 is used for indoor coverage for 4G calling. So Airtel has enough. It doesn't make sense for now for Airtel to go for Band 5/8. Airtel should go directly to band 105 whenever available. Right now they should go for densification as load on their network is increasing. With Vi and BSNL almost…
Only 5 MHz is remaining unsold in 700 MHz Frequency Band, so it's pointless for 5G & no-one other than Jio will be betting for that even in future. I think after 2-4 years, next potential auction, 600 MHz Band might be included for auction, which is very good for 5G. ( Fingers crossed! )
All I have to say is - Jio has 10 MHz n28 ( 700 MHz ) & 10 MHz n5 ( 800 MHz ) in all the circles of India. Even for BSNL 10 MHz n28 ( 700 MHz ) pan India is reserved and already allotted in 4 circles like Punjab Haryana etc in…
So they managed to provide network where metro is not running/project not yet completed. (A few days ago Airtel announced their 5G will be available once metro line starts.) But struggling to provide network in societies/apparentments/local area etc For B8 ( 900 MHz ) sub-GHz, they are holding 7 MHz out of which only 5…
Whenever I see Vi news upgrading network, covering areas, it gives hope that they will not vanish and in future if they will not be able to run some new telecom company making JV with Idea will takeover it. Even if both Vodafone and idea look to exit, an Indian partner will continue to be…
Yes features are all good. Even nothing phone 2a didn't use LPDDR5 RAM. I think this phone will be faster none the less. Lava Agni is selling good at that price point. Blaze was under 10k targetted. They should have focused at 15k 16k price with some compromise. As it is stock Android lacks so…
Now everyone will be thinking like all operator charges are almost the same, but after quitting Airtel and moving to vi understood that Airtel has hefty tarrifs and congested network. Eg , a data booster costs more in Airtel than vi. Even if we need only one GB we are forced to buy big packs…
Airtel is like a vampire. They will never stop sucking the blood out of the people. Mittals never talk about the total profits, only ARPU. As if they will get heart attack if a random grandma hobbling down the road doesn't pay them 300rs immediately right on the spot no matter if she even has…
Airtel and their love (greed) for tariff hikes is an old story that surfaces as headlines time and again. When new operators entered Airtel used to be at last to reduce tariffs but when it comes to hike they always want to be at forefront. Never was a part or remained at forefront to reduce…
What about Jio Airtel, are they not giving above 50 Mbps? In Bihar Vi : 15 - 25 Mbps. Airtel 4G : 50 - 70 Mbps. Jio 4G : 40 - 104 Mbps. Wherever network is good, else you might face less than 1 Mbps also from these. Also Vi doesn't have 4G+ in C…
Airtel needs to buy 5 MHz of n8 ( 900 MHz ) in all circles mentioned above. Also the spectrum that is expiring is Non-Liberalised.. now they need to get liberalised bands to use all 10 MHz block together for 4G/5G instead of 2G as of now. In J&K, Assam and North East, Aircel's B8…
Jio has failed to read Indian handset market always. First LYF phones were a failure. After that Jiophone didn't do much to drive 2G users to 4G because of lowest or worst quality phones and then JioPhone nxt that was of no use at 4500. Jio team thinks everyone needs to be upgraded but a…
Don't set high expectations for BSNL their current 4G speed mostly hover around 3-5 Mbps. They are no where near to any other Telecom in terms of Speed.
as per last release by DOT BSNL is given 700mhz, band 28 in MP(indore) another 4 more circle It will interesting to see how bsnl 4g will provide converge , better than 2g on 900Mhz.----- single BTS can cover up to a range of 5 kilometres and this itself gives me strong feeling that within…
I guess this is the reason why Airtel 5G is still able to keep up with Jio 5G’s SA network Whatever this MiMo thing is Its helping airtel with better network I recently tried downloading Gta 5 from epic games using Jio 5g but for some reason the download wasnt progressing at all I guess…
For some reason, Ericsson's 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) is much better. That is why Airtel NSA 5G is able to give 50% more speed than Jio true 5G. Airtel 5G @600 mbps vs Jio @400 mbps at many places. Jio should have used Ericsson's RAN for 700 MHz atleast. I don't think Airtel or…
Don't say that.. In few circles like Bihar they had worst 2G coverage ( even when compared with Telenor, MTS, Docomo etc of that time ). Their 4G should be good enough to compete with Vi, Airtel and Jio now.
No one will be interested in Vi unless they get it an extremely discounted rate! Even then, the new promoter will have to bear the burden of huge debt.
Not the first time.. India has been trying since a long time with Pragati OS, Bhar OS and what not.. It would have been better if Indians managed custom Android ROM with focus on Indian needs since Android is open source.
I feel they should have added 5G BTS at same pace as they are adding store. But instead they will spend more on advertisement than actually investing where it matters.Most of these stores have people which mis-sell Airtel product and services, lie to core to unaware people. Aona dhayan 5G upgrade mein laga le Airtel…
Vi needs to upcap the network and bring back double data offer at 299. That will solve lot of issues. But again effect will start once Jio stops free unlimited 5G.
Network won't improve much. Just band 1 is going for 4G and that too won't change much for Vi. Band 41 density is very less compared to Airtel and Jio(I mean TDD Density).
Saw Avatar the Last Airbender... The first episode was ok.. 2nd episode was much better. Loved Avatar Kiyoshi in Action. Then from 3rd episode it was very much fast paced and stories mishmashed here and there. Last 4 episodes was mostly lecture, did not feel like fun story moving forward, still entertaining to watch. Sadly…
I think if Mr Birla and someone from Vodafone entity infuse some money, others investors might join too as confidence in company is increasing with improving network. But 3rd party won't contribute if these two keep holding their hands back.
Microsoft failed to create the third OS in smartphones Idk which bureaucrat smoked so much weed to get such ideas All the supreme leader supporters can dislike my comment i dont mind The govt is smoking weed and taking decisions.
With Jio I have experienced good network at residence places but very bad or no network at market or crowded places. While moving in train Jio 4G did not work most of the time, atleast 5G has improved a lot in that experience. Jio should use high quality network transmitter for n28 band (like from…
For every 20 internet users of Jio only 1 BSNL internet users. ( that too secondary SIM ) The gap is so big that most of the customers are not getting proper network or consistent internet speed. Like if Jio has 400 million 4G customers. Airtel should have had 300. And Vi, BSNL around 200…
More and more people want fiber internet because they use a lot of data at home for Work, Education & Entertainment. Mobile data isn't always good enough. People are now understanding that having fiber internet at home is cheaper than recharging's every family member phone with high Data Plans
Majority of people use Bsnl as a second SIM card, but some avoid it because it doesn't have 4G/5G. Also, Bsnl is increasing prices by reducing the validity of their plans. . VI losing customers because they're charging similar prices as Airtel and Jio, but their network isn't as good. So, people are choosing Airtel…
The demand for fiber is on the rise especially in towns affected due to mobile Internet shutdowns in Haryana and Punjab. So figures for Feb 2024 which will arrive in April 2024 will show massive additions. My friend lives in affected area and he said people in villages are paying as high as 7K-11K to…
Its fake news they are doing it to meet there postpaid target. Try to complaint it on twitter or try in other location. Why are porting to jio. Any particular reason?
true ,and idk what mhz band they use but there are a lot of times when im inside a building (ground floor or just surrounded by walls) even after that vi 4g would give 20mbps and above ,so that's really impressive for me
Yes, Jio 4G is choked everywhere. As many have not 5G phones yet. This year, many people will buy 5G phones and load on Jio 4G will get reduced. Vi 4G in Mumbai is best. There is no load at all since two years. But speeds are capped to 40Mbps on prepaid. And speeds are…
isnt MM wave even worse at signal penetration compared to the 3500mhz which is quite bad too? Indian telecom space needs way more towers but way more towers = need of more money ,need more money = need to increase arpu = increase arpu = customers switching to rivals hence selective areas get network capacity…
well good question now the thing is that ,i have an iPhone 11 which supports only 4g CA and i cant take advantage of the 5G network from any telecom operator ,and you seem like you know andheri west area so i guess you can imagine my situation as times when im waiting for local…
Jio working good in Andheri only in 5G more. They are getting lots of small cells near DN Nagar, Kokilaben hospital, at peak times, the speeds are 200-300Mbps on 5G phones which is very good.
India also ranks first in mobile Internet shutdowns in a year. People in other states won't feel what currently common man is going through in Punjab and Haryana districts with no Internet from 11 days. No one cared when Kashmir lost data connectivity for an extended period of more than a year. Just for once…
India in Top 10 would be amazing ,it gives a message to the world that yes we have internet to every part of our nation leave internet freedom index aside this is pretty big milestone
i live in andheri west of Mumbai and for some reason the nearest store of vi has very rude staff and they tell me that for some technical reason they cant let new prepaid ports and can only do 6months of postpaid porting where the minimum plan is of (500 or 800) a month which…
idk maybe the guy had a phone running android 9 i guess and i had iPhone 11 running iOS 17.3.1 ,and the link i got in sms ,for whatever reason it kept getting stuck ,i even checked if my nextdns was interacting with it but nope ,anyways i ordered the sim again today 21st Feb…
This has more to do with the phone being used and retailer app than Vi porting issues. I had such an experience whiile proting into Jio via home delivery in past. The payment wasn't going through and error coming. Being an engineer myself I knew how to get it sorted. The person who was a…
They first need to integrate their internal systems and operations as new with name Vi. Having seperate idea VoLTE and Vodafone VoLTE, seperate number series, seperate APN etc is not helping, Neither customers nor company.
today i tried porting in vi ,from jio prepaid to vi prepaid home delivery for some reason they wont take cash at all and want customer to pay using payment gateway link ,around 3pm the guy comes and then i get payment gateway link and for some reason it would just get stuck to a…
V! Esim is also not available on Idea migrated numbers. Number series which were available on Idea. Example 9990 series in Delhi. They told even if that number is on Airtel or Jio and you port it back to V!, then also eSIM will not be available.
Good that Vi is now focusing on B circles.. Don't know if they have any plan for C Circles or not. I am assuming they are doing good in A circle as many have not upgraded to 5G and enjoying Vi 4G/4G+ in Metro and A circles. They should have delayed in 5G spectrum bidding…
The word order don't go well with BSNLEU. So Govt played it safe by "asking" them or else there would have been strike by BSNLEU. Most of the time they remain busy doing nothing. So yes they are busy people. Once I "ordered" them to pay back my security deposit and didn't get it until…
BSNL will not Launch 4G in December 2024 as they will be privatised by that time. Vi will be completely gone from our country.. and pvt entity will hold major part of BSNL but it will keep running, but not as a PSU anymore. To all the readers.. please don't wait for BSNL 4G or…
Lol what I said the same thing a few days ago in this website And somehow this is an actual idea according to bsnl employees Well looking at current condition of Vi ,either govt takes 51% share by end of lok sabha election or idk what to say Its hard lol
Nah speed has went down everywhere with more and more 5G handsets accessing network. For me it was 1Gbps only for first few months followed by 650-700 then 550 and these days 450 Mbps. During peak time in day it is 350-400 but anything above 50 is good for me. 4G speed is okay too…
Another thing which I forgot to mention is Vi's 5G minimum rollout obligation can be completed with funds from BSNL by leasing 4G services or if Vi want they can cover the cost in their debt to Govt. In all ways Vi is the only winner and BSNL will be able to save its face.…
