Airtel 5G News & Discussions

[TheAndroidFreak]

only overloaded network and drops calls make experience worst, which we observed/experience in 2017 with jio.




There won't be a case. Coverage of rest of two has improved drastically. Some people will stick to Airtel and Vi no matter what because Vi and Airtel is excellent at some places. Also, there will be addition of spectrum from 3100-4200Mhz in future. So Jio won't be choked as well. Mobile phones doesn't need more than 500Mbps at any cost. Wifi 6 will expand in future as well along with FTTH presence across country.

I still get Airtel’s “fake 5G” inside my home. Speed is 10-20 Mbps which is 4G level speeds. When checked using iPhone’s field test mode, I am connected to 4G bands like Band 3. This is in Mumbai after almost 6 months of 5G launch. I can imagine the state of Airtel’s 5G in other lesser areas.

I am also not recharging my Airtel number because 2999 for yearly plan just to get 300GB (unlimited 5G) is no-value-for-money. Simple.

Airtel redirecting 4G capital investments to 5G, says CTO

"The cost of running 2G is miniscule, at least for Airtel, since we are running our radios on single RAN. There are still users in India using a 2G device so shutting down 2G would mean denying them access," Sekhon said at the ETTelecom 5G Congress 2023.

He is having gigabit ftth at home. Doesn't need sh#tty Airtel in Mumbai. From Bandra to Borivali, lots of call drops. Whereas Jio works fine.

Fake 5G is industry standard...AT&T started doing it with 4G...and in 5G, they marketed 4G+ as 5GE(5G evolution)
