Bro, tell me something.. it is mentioned that they are launching 4g using 1800 MHz band.
Few days back u said that to get max speed i should use 2300 MHz band in other thread.
So, does it mean Airtel 4g speed in UP will be compromised due to this?
Please explain as am very much curious about this..

That's true actually bro. Airtel UP speed can't match with 2300 mhz band state/cities speeds. Unless and until they deploy some new tech which gives more speed on lower bands too. Though i still feel even with these 1800 mhz bands you will get better speed than jio. (Jio speed is not so good hence said this thing)

That we will see in coming days..
Don't know whether there is less congestion or what, am getting amazing speeds on jio. In daytime, its between 10 to 25 mbps and at night and early morning, its between 40 to 60 mbps.
Will share all the updates, once Airtel starts in full flow.
