Vi MiFi or Vodafone Idea MiFi, Does it Make any Sense Today

Vi MiFi

Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest telecom company in India, is offering users something known as MiFi. It is a product with a service. This is a product that you probably have heard of. If you haven’t, well, it is a simple hotspot device that you can carry with you anywhere as it can easily fit into your pocket, bags, etc. A few important details that you should know about this gadget is that it only works with Vi SIM. You can’t insert Jio or Airtel SIM inside the Vi MiFi. You can connect up to 10 devices through the Wi-Fi network created by Vi MiFi. It has six hours of battery life; you need to charge it repeatedly to keep it in working condition, and the product has a warranty of one year. Vi claims that this gadget can deliver a maximum of 150 Mbps speed (4G data). But the truth is, you are likely never going to see anything even near the claimed speed because the mobile networks of Vi might be the fastest in India (in download speeds), but they are just not fast enough to deliver 150 Mbps speed.
