What kind of logic is this? Band 28 is exclusively used for coverage and not for speeds. They have mmwave as well which will solve all the problems for N78 congestion. More bands needs to be opened for auction after mmwave deployment.
Band 28 is just for VoNR and coverage. There is no other usage. Inside home, 20-50Mbps on an average. ARPU should be crossing 250 after Jio announce 5G tariffs. Jio 5G should be available at 299 for 500GB(No 4G usage), so that they can fast track band 40 to 5G.
This is not going to happen. Vi is empty network everywhere now. 33 crore to less than 20 crore within three years. So it's basically empty network. Vi should give more data for 299 as compared to Airtel. Vi should bring capped speed based plans at 399/499/599 to boost ARPU.
If out of 481, 108 is 5G customers. That means customer on Jio 4G network reduced from 452 million in Oct 2022 to 373 million now. Also I heard so much about DSS that same band can be used for 4G as well as 5G, but no one is using DSS for any type of…
If they already reached 482 million, I wonder in how many months it will reach 500 million customers. Their ARPU will increase after 5G tarrif announcement. Btw today for the first time I experienced better n28 network in office though internet speed was still questionable. I mean outside office building or on ground floor even…
Vi just showing their greedy face more than ARPUtel these days. With minimum spectrum and network, they want to take monthly bill to more than 300 rupees per customer ? If they want to raise ARPU, better offer value to get more paying customers than spare SIM who are bringing down ARPU to 145 when…
That is good enough speed as per 4G standard, and you get cheaper plan. You could dial *#0011# and show us screenshot of band too. Cause it might be B1. ( You screenshot is showing '1800' B3 probably for sim 1 )
Yes, But some investment is better than none. Also as said by CEO, these funds and 18k crore FPO money will be used in capex for 4G/5G network, not to pay debt. So as a customer, we might expect network improvement. Though investors might worry about company's loss or their return on investment. Voda and…
IMO, Airtel only needs to buy sub GHz ( like B8/B5 ) to have atleast 10 MHz in that. & Jio could buy more in B3 to have 20 MHz in more circles ( like they already have in 3 or 4 circle ) for 4G. They might buy more in n28 if BSNL surrenders…
Yes I like your detailed reply. I have noticed same in Kolkata circle. Under many metro train station, Jio 4G signal is there but internet don't work, while Vi 4G was working even underground. Vi 4G speed is good in all 3 bands here, B3, B1 and B41. B8 is not good but it fills…
It's good that Airtel is sharing number of 5G customer circle by circle to attract new customer from that circle by providing confidence. Why don't they mention total number of 5G customer in India !? ( Maybe they don't want Jio to reveal their total customer all over India, but it would have been better…
My immediate loan pending is Rs.1.32 Lakh crore and deferred payment of 76411 crores. I got 4% money and now I can show I can survive and bounce back? Come out of dreams. Vi no matter what they do will keep wasting investors money. Govt has promised that they won't interfere and my own analysis…
After elections Vi will be fined again for not meeting the terms and conditions of spectrum auction 2022. Vi is waiting for final nail in the coffin. BSNL has 6.4 MHz B8, 5 MHz B5 ( in Rajasthan circle ) 11 MHz B3 ( in Delhi circle ) 10 MHz B1, 20 MHz B41 just…
BSNL can give good 5g speed beyond 100mbps lf GOl give permission BSNL to use Vi's vast amount of 4g and 5g spectrum as GOl is the largest stakeholder of Vi because GOl is not able to sell Vi's share. No big teleco is interest to buy Vi's stake from GOl.
I think Adani data network maybe participate in this upcoming spectrum auction.Gautam adani may have big plans in lndian telecom sector. Adani data network has recently get unified license for providing telecom service in 22 circles. After the lokshaba election,2024 will be very game changing year for lndian telecom lndustry.
GOl is the largest stakeholder of Vi because Vi failed to pay spectrum fees and revenue fees. GOl didn't get any kind of benefits for holding largest share in Vi. So,lt will good for GOl to give access Vi's huge amount of 4g and 5g spectrum to BSNL for BSNL revival plan. Each and Every…
Very good news about Bankura.But Jio is the number one telecom provider in Bankura District.Vi is the fastest 4g network service provider in Bankura district.
very pathetic situation of BSNL.Thank you very much for reveling the truth.please don't think about suicide.your and your family members lives are very important to us and our country.
mmwave is distant technology is yet to get on Indian mobiles. So Jio won't rush out to deploy it. Maybe 8 gen 5 devices will have mmwave in India(Midrange chipsets will have mmwave in same year). Not before that. Also, Jio needs to densify their fiber and N78 sites, before deploying mmwave. So have patience…

Whatever you said in first paragraph, I completely agree. But things will soon change. Again, Vi don't need 5G, atleast for couple of years. They need uncapped network with good 4G coverage. They already have one in their priority circles. They just need to uncap the network and get customers on board. Everyone from my…
Since 2020, BSNL has band 8 liberised form. They can deploy 4G on that band as well. BSNL has 6.2Mhz of band 8 spectrum. So they can deploy 5Mhz of LTE and 1.2Mhz of 2G. 5Mhz of LTE will give good coverage and speeds considering BSNL subscription base. 10-25Mbps is easily possible on band 8LTE…
I'm getting good service from Vi and many people are happy with Vi 4g service in West Bengal and Kolkata circle.

BSNL can never compete with Airtel 's NSA 5G, forget Jio SA 5G. But they could get some customers if they somehow manage to stay more affordable than pvt. Jio & Airtel will keep 4G for low revenue customers while monetize 5G to generate profit and high ARPU. Soon they will start rolling out mm…
just yesterday i took a airtel postpaid sim for my sister and had the 399rs plan ,i dont see any 5g unlimited on the airtel thanks app ,is there no unlimited 5g for 399rs postpaid plan users? can anyone please help me
BSNL has 2G on B8 and it will stay like that until 4G is rolled out in every state. There is enough remaining B41 bandwidth left to buy for Vi or any other (no scarcity) that BSNL need to surrender. Instead BSNL should have got 20 MHz block size for better internet speed. In B8…
Airtel and Jio will move everything to 5G really soon. So there should be competition to Vi in 4G segment. So BSNL needs to rollout 4G on band 1/8/41 as soon as possible. Otherwise return the spectrum. Atleast in band 41. It can be helpful for Vi. Band 1/8 will suffice BSNL users. Band 8…
BSNL 4G and Jio 4G will be like legacy network of this decade going forward for lower revenue customers in JioBharat and other feature 4G phones. Data speed between H+ 3G and non-CA 4G was very close and negligible yet people upgraded to 4G. Difference between 4G and 5G speed is much greater. If BSNL…

If customer needs 1 GB per day extra for 28 days.. They would rather recharge extra data plan. How will Vi survive in the business with these dumb ideas !? They should have offered this as data only STV instead of add on voucher. Or with bulk 20 GB data.
Not for long.. This Desi 4G is already failing. Losses are increasing since decades. Customers and network both is 1/4th of Vi. No sign of LTE+ Gov support won't last long.
Do not keep any phones near you at least during sleeping. Keep them far or in the flight mode. If you feel unsafe, throw your phones into the garbage and use landline.
Is 4G data, 4G VoLTE and 5G data and 5G VoNR working during international roaming*?. means : Using airtel or jio SIM outside India (example : using jio SIM at du or etisalat network at UAE)
It's only good for Jio and Airtel users for their 5g smartphone but most people are 4g smartphone users in our country. Vi has large network of 4g network.

Jio and Airtel both lead in lndian telecom sector because of their expansion of FTTH broadband connection.

BSNL should join in this race with the partnership with lSRO. But l very curious whether Elon musk starlink will enter in lndian telecom sector through satellite broadband connection.
Good news from "Make in lndia" programme and lndian electronics lndustry. But Apple should lowering the prices of their smartphone and more lndian people will buy more their products.
It will be better for Japan releasing 600Mhz(Band 71) spectrum for Rakuten mobile and SoftBank. Japan's telecom industry is currently many challenges and their mobile data plans are too high for their citizens and tourists.
Vi is now dying mood and No forigen company is interested to buy Vi because Modi government blessings on Jio. Jio is totally make Monopoly in in Wirless and Wireline market. Most of People in My city Bankura is Jio user in both mobile and Broadband connection market. All most all broadband connection users have…
Vi and BSNL mostly serve as a secondary number for many who have kept either Jio or Airtel as their primary. Every month they are loosing primary sim user and adding new customer who only want extra option for various personal reasons.
For some reason n78 band Jio 5G has better network and coverage than B40 4G at many places in Asansol, West Bengal. I wonder if no. of 5G towers are more to handle the capacity since range of n78 should be less B40 as per physics. Or are they using high energy transmitter to show…
They have got just 2 months to do something.. After elections are over, Gov might put a fine on Vi for buying 5G spectrum and not meeting the terms ( to use spectrum and provide 5g service in atleast one location per circle )
In 2021-22 when everyone was so confident that BSNL will launch cheaper 4G by 15 August 2022. I was sure they won't launch till election 2024 with 50% coverage all over India slowly catching up to 100% with 2G shutdown by 2026-27. So many articles to justify how NSA 5G is better for BSNL and…
Vi could have bought mmwave this time instead of last auction if they are so much cash strapped. Buying n78 would have been enough to roll-out 5G. I don't think anyone will buy significant amount of spectrum this time. I wonder if Jio will participate at all. Vi's B3 8.8 MHz out of 17.8 in…
I'm a bit concerned about this, if multiple ports is leading to call drops/disconnects as the call routes through multiple location registries? I'm not sure of technical aspect, this is pure experience. Someone tech savvy can comment.
from 2018 to 2024 i myself have ported 10 times the longest i have stayed with 1 operator was Airtel during covid times from november 2019 to november 2021 lol
Nice.. & BSNL 60 Mbps is even perfect plan for many if there are more than 5 devices connected. Many might be moving up to 100 Mbps soon as 30/40 Mbps feels slow time to time. I use 5G over Wi-Fi when high speed is needed. Jio does not have any OTT plan with even…
Budget phones have degraded more than any other budget phones since pandemic. They are still selling some craps like Helio G35 copy in 2024. I was expecting Dimensity 700 to become cheaper but they instead renamed it to 6020 and keep on charging more. Hope Qualcomm launch some Snapdragon 2 Gen 1 5G chip for…
Airtel is claiming so many things. But at our location there have so many places where airtel 2g signal is not properly available, forget 4g or 5g. I have an active airtel number from the era when there had incoming call charges. So many years passed. Till now we can't use airtel at that location.…
Yes.. Corruption and arrogance is in the core of this organisation since beginning.. & Now even gov wants everything to stay in favour of their favourite pvt players. Since 2019 it's all buzz and no action. BSNL 4G roll-out is just another scam.

Till BSNL doesn't make 5Mhz of band 1/28/8 live across country, it doesn't make sense. Vi is far better operator than BSNL. If investment comes, it will improve even further.
In my experience. Airtel 4G went down to 20-30 Mbps where it used to 50-70 Mbps on b3+b40 CA. Jio 4G also went down to around 40 Mbps from earlier 100 Mbps even though they have SA 5G. Even 5G speeds have come down to around 200 Mbps from 800 Mbps before. ( But this…
Same with my Airtel fiber. Though I have recharged till last September as I got hands on 5G in Sept 2023 only. Then again did Wi-Fi recharge in December and this month as they kept on calling and saying they might have to disconnect and take router back if I don't use fiber connection for…
Surprising. Airtel has to go long way in 5G department. Let's see where they end up at the end of give years. For now, Jio will grow exponentially due to SA network and good fiber backhaul.
Now Vi 5G won't make a difference as Jio and Airtel have already captured most users. Only Vi loyalist or few Jio/Airtel dissatisfied users will join them. I will bet BSNL as a winner with 4G/5G in coming days but not Vi. BSNL has deployed 700 RRC MHz already wherever they have started 4G but…
Airtel has given freebie of 2.5GB/day data to me on idle sim for 28 days. Never saw such a genuine freebie from Airtel in long time. This year they did provide 3 days validity with no sms or calls and 1GB data twice in Jan and Feb (after 18 months of sim being idle but…
For me the average is 10-12GB/day from last 4-5 months as TV runs on same. Since Dec 2022 when Jio 5G arrived here in Chandigarh, in initial days, it was 20-25GB/day (mostly because of speedtest addictions which went away after a week). These days I test speed only like once in 15 days. It will…
They don't play Fair game.. Vi is better in offering more data ( though their network not so good in my experience ) Miss those days when Jio used to offer 2 GB/days for 4 days before price hike. Is Airtel trying to do stress test on their 4G network or what ?? Why do…
Only 3500? These 5 states combined have 51744 towers. Means less than 5% per state. BSNL will never get level playing field. While pvt telcos can install towers anywhere and permissions are fast, BSNL on other hand first acquires land which include paperwork then another deed is signed for equipment installation, different deed for taking…

What kind of logic is this? Band 28 is exclusively used for coverage and not for speeds. They have mmwave as well which will solve all the problems for N78 congestion. More bands needs to be opened for auction after mmwave deployment.
